Description
Wongamine Nature Reserve is an attractive small reserve in the 'near metro' wheatbelt, holding a good range of bushbirds including Rufous Treecreeper.
From WA Tourism - see link: "Wongamine Nature Reserve was historically used as a watering and stopping place and for timber and gravel extraction. The Wongamine Reserve is now for conservation purposes. With its northern extension and Shire-managed adjoining western portion, the reserve covers 330 hectares of diverse vegetation. Species include the Mottlecah which has the largest Eucalypt flower in the world, Brown Mallet, Drummond’s Gum and a fine stand of Salmon Gum. In spring, wildflowers of all kinds abound.
Walking access in the reserve is facilitated by the many fire breaks. The perimeter of the reserve is 8 kilometres. Forrest Road is a designated Flora Road with a sign posted pull in bay.
Take care when exploring the reserve as it has gravelly slopes and steep gullies and remember to take drinking water with you".
