Description
Wambyn Nature Reserve is dominated by Powderbark Wandoo woodlands on gravelly loams, with Wandoo woodlands on grey clay-loams also covering a significant area. Sheoaks appear around the granite outcrops, with heath being the dominant association in shallower soils.
The site owes its existence to having been spared from clearfelling for cropping on account of its excellent stands of Wandoo which were originally designated as a timber reserve.
'On track' birding is available via the perimeter track and the indicated cross-track (position of track has been estimated via satellite imagery and may vary from actual slightly) but the entire reserve is also easily walked through the open woodlands.
'Sought after' birds here include Brown-headed Honeyeater, Rufous Treecreeper and Gilbert's Honeyeater.
