South Pacific Heathland Reserve.

This reserve runs along the cliff top of Ulladulla and is managed by trust. The six trustees of the award winning area are all women. Much work has been done on the 14 hectare reserve to ensure the 200 species of flora and 90 species of birds have a protected area. Some of those species are listed as rare and endangered.

At present the easy walk out to the lookout area will yield many interesting finds for the observant visitor. We saw quite a few birds and many flowers. There were several kinds of fungus including one that had lived on a banksia until there had been a fire. Although quite blackened its form could still be seen. Whether it was still alive I could not be sure.

Some of the pretty flowers were very small but the banksia were often huge. These seem popular with the honey eating species of birds. I suspect many feast on insects that are there for the sweet nectar.

Although we were told dolphins are often seen from the lookout, there were none today. One lookout is accessible by wheelchair.Read more
