    Wild wanders through Yalukit Willam Nature Reserve

    We’ve created a wildflower meadow of indigenous vegetation by planting approximately 15,000 new plants and shrubs and 1,000 new trees at Yalukit Willam Nature Reserve. When the meadow opens in July, some areas will remain temporarily fenced to help the new plants and trees establish. There will also be netting to help protect aquatic plantings from the ravenous local ducks. New community facilities also opening in July include a covered shelter, picnic and barbecue facilities, as well as public toilets. This area, called the Community Edge, provides a comfortable place for visitors to relax and enjoy the wildflower meadow.
