Paruna Sanctuary, Protected area in Avon Valley, Western Australia
The Paruna Sanctuary extends across 20 square kilometers of woodland territory between Walyunga and Avon Valley National Parks, featuring wandoo and powderbark forests.
The Australian Wildlife Conservancy established Paruna Sanctuary in 1998 through the acquisition of multiple properties to create a natural corridor along the Avon River.
The land sits within the Darling Range on the western margin of the Yilgarn Block, a granite formation that originated over 2.5 billion years ago.
Visitors can access three walking trails during the May to October season, with the Possum Loop spanning 2.3 kilometers, Quenda Circuit 6.5 kilometers, and Numbat Track 12 kilometers.
The sanctuary houses 21 mammal species, 124 bird species, 43 reptiles, 12 amphibians, and 353 plant species, including the reintroduced black-flanked rock-wallaby.
