Who we are and our aims
The group was formed in 1982. Although small in membership, a dedicated and determined approach has resulted in the completion of very many successful conservation projects at Ellis Brook Valley Reserve. Our principal aim is the Conservation and Preservation of the Reserve. We also aim to foster a greater understanding and enjoyment of the Reserve by the general public.
Ellis Brook Valley Reserve
The Reserve is located just a few kilometres east of Gosnells. Access is via Rushton Rd, Martin. It is a large area of natural bushland straddling the Darling Scarp. The scenery is dramatic with rugged ridges each side of the valley. The ‘Sixty Foot Waterfall’ plunges from the top of the scarp after winter rains. The spring time wildflowers are diverse and spectacular. There is a large number of bird species to be seen. In the reserve the visitor can enjoy a variety of walks. These range from walks on easy, surfaced, paths to more challenging hikes on rough trails. There are parking areas at Honneyeater Hollow and Waterfall Gulley. The former has toilets, picnic and BBQ facilities. Unfortunately, unattended cars have sometimes been broken into
