Extra info

The walk shown on the map is that for 'Possum Loop'.

From the Trails WA page, link below - "This walk has an abundance of plant life all year round, including Samphire, Saltwater Sheoak, Saltwater Paperbark and Shoe Rush, but in spring the reserve really comes alive when native orchids put on a colourful display including Pink Enable Orchids, Cowslip Orchids and Leaping Spider Orchids".

A longer 'Bobtail loop' walk is also available - see map.
