JOSEPH BANKS NATIVE PLANTS RESERVE

Public BBQ

A free bushland reserve devoted to Australian native flora, with informative signage throughout that makes it a genuinely educational wander rather than just a walk. It is worth setting expectations: this is a native plants reserve, not a flower garden, and it rewards anyone willing to read the labels. A choice of paths winds through the site with a good deal of wildlife about and seating placed generously along the way, plus easy parking, toilets and picnic spots. Access is off Manooka Place — there is no entry from Bates Drive, though traffic noise from that road does carry into the reserve. The pathways are uneven enough that older visitors may want a hand, and the grounds are somewhat overdue for maintenance.
