NEWMAN BLOCK
Located 24km south-west of Narrogin, this is a wonderful hiking, wildflower and bird watching place. The 8km road from Highbury to the reserve is gravel, and there are no facilities there. There a two excellent wildflower walks. The easy 1.5km Orchid walk is located near the entrance, and a narrow road that may have ruts and overhanging vegetation leads to a lovely spot for a picnic and the start of the Sandplain Walk. The 2.5 km grade3 walk is more of a challenge, but the occasional scramble over rock and breakaways is rewarded by uplifting views and interesting plants. 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.
This is a great reserve for bushwalkers and cyclists who can experience the variation in the landscape and wildflowers via fire access tracks.
