More about the area

Lane Poole Reserve was declared in 1984 to protect the conservation and recreation values of the northern jarrah forest and the Murray River – the longest permanent river in a jarrah forest.

Jarrah tends to dominate the dry upland areas within the reserve. On the lower slopes of the reserve, marri occurs in greater numbers and may predominate in moist gullies.

In the western portion of the reserve, where the valleys are relatively narrow and steep, the soils are usually more fertile red loams and support yarri, or Western Australian blackbutt, and flooded gums.

Apart from the dominant eucalypts, a variety of smaller understorey trees occurs in various mixtures throughout the reserve. These include bull banksias and sheoak.

The lower layer of forest vegetation is formed by the reserve’s 500 species of shrubs and herbaceous plants. They include many of the better known wildflowers, such as Blue Leschenaultia, Pink Boronia and Native Wisteria.

Twenty-nine species of native mammals, 56 species of reptiles and amphibians, 10 species of fish and 120 species of birds are either known inhabitants or occasional visitors to Lane Poole Reserve.

These include marsupials such as the mardo, quenda, brush-tailed wambenger, chuditch and quokka. Few people realise that the quokka, better known as a resident of Rottnest Island, is also found in swamps and valleys in the jarrah forest.
