Karroun Hill Nature Reserve

Karroun Hill Nature Reserve is a protected area in Western Australia featuring mulga-eucalypt woodlands and shrublands spread across a large landscape. Elevation ranges from around 300 to 480 meters (1000 to 1600 feet), creating varied habitats for plants and wildlife.

The reserve was created in 1983 to protect the remaining natural vegetation threatened by agricultural expansion in Western Australia's wheatbelt region. This establishment reflected a growing commitment to preserving the area's native landscapes.

The reserve sits where mulga-eucalypt woodlands meet arid wattle shrublands, showing how vegetation naturally transitions across the landscape. Visitors walking through experience this botanical boundary firsthand as the plant life shifts and changes around them.

The reserve has walking tracks and picnic areas available for visitors throughout the grounds. Activities like bird watching, bushwalking, and off-road driving are commonly enjoyed here.

The reserve is recognized internationally for sustaining rare bird species including malleefowl, regent parrots, rufous treecreepers, and western yellow robins. These species thrive in the intact habitat that few other places can still offer.
