Nuytsland Nature Reserve

The nature reserve extends over 6,253 square kilometers along the southern coast, featuring extensive beaches, sand dunes, and limestone cliffs.

The reserve received its name from Dutch explorer Pieter Nuyts, who navigated this coastline in 1627 during his expedition for the Dutch East India Company.

The Eyre Bird Observatory within the reserve functions as a research station and educational center, documenting the local bird populations and natural environment.

Access to the reserve requires a four-wheel drive vehicle, substantial water supplies, camping equipment, and emergency communication devices for safety.

The Baxter Cliffs stretch for 190 kilometers through the reserve, rising 80 meters above the Southern Ocean, forming one continuous limestone wall.
