Nature reserves

For nature lovers, birdwatchers and bushwalkers, or those just wanting a peaceful escape from town living, there are a number of nature reserves in the shire providing visitors with beautiful, scenic native bush land to enjoy.

These include Ingalba Nature Reserve, around 10 kilometres west of Temora, and Pucawan Nature Reserve, a further 6km west. Big Bush Nature Reserve is 15 kilometres northwest of Temora. As well as being important survivors of native bushland, within a poorly reserved bioregion, these reserves contain several regionally significant plant species and provide a safe, sustainable habitat for a number of threatened animal species. One of the best, Ingalba Nature Reserve, is easily accessible as it is located on the Burley Griffin Way. It’s a peaceful place to visit and a beautiful way to appreciate the value of how this former state forest and logging site is now being conserved for future generations.
