Flora and fauna

The reserve protects one of the few remaining remnants of Wandoo woodland in the south-west of the state. Mammals recorded from the reserve include the western grey kangaroo, common brushtail possum and western brush wallaby, and there is evidence that numbats are present. Many woodland birds have been recorded, including scarlet, red-capped and western yellow robins, jacky winter and regent parrot.[1]
