Dryandra Woodland features the largest area of remnant vegetation in the western Wheatbelt and forms part of an international biodiversity ‘hotspot’ where more than 850 species of plants can be seen. To assist you along the way, take a pocket-sized guide book, Wildflowers of Dryandra Woodland. It is available for purchase from the Barna Mia animal sanctuary or the Dryandra Village Settlement.
The woodland of wandoo, kwongan (the Aboriginal word for heath and shrublands), mallee, sheoak thickets and plantations of brown mallet is home to the numbat, Western Australia’s state fauna emblem. It is also home to other threatened and remarkable fauna such as the red-tailed phascogale, woylie, western grey kangaroo, tammar wallaby, brushtail possum and echidna as well as a diverse variety of reptiles and insects.
This drive on gravel roads offers the opportunity to enjoy the woodland and to learn about its ecosystems. It is named after a darwinia that grows in only a few locations in the south west, including Dryandra.
