​CANDY BLOCK 
Located 19 km north of Narrogin, Candy Block is a Dryandra Woodland “satellite” block. The landscape is steeper and more varied then the main Dryandra Block, with some surprising areas and unusual wildflowers, and good bird watching. Gravel roads to the two walk trails are well maintained and suitable for small to medium sized vehicles. There are no picnic areas, or other facilities, and camping is not permitted. Do not take pets as baits are laid in the reserve to protect the native wildlife from feral animals. The 3.5km grade 3 Three Mesa Walk meanders over three separate laterite mesas via breakaways and valleys, with the woodland and associated wildflowers varying on each mesa and valley. This walk has some steep sections. The Kwongan Walk is an easy 1.5km walk through mainly sandy soils. The highlight is yellow sand kwongan scrub with a wealth of flowering shrubs that reach a peak around October. The country changes to sandy marri-parrot bush woodland with cowslip orchids and fragrant white Honey myrtle shrubs in spring.
