Posted on by

Our next park activation for Monday 13th November 2023 was the Underbool I71 Bushland Reserve VKFF-4168. This was the first time the park had been activated for the World Wide Flora Fauna (WWFF) program.

The park is located between Cowangie and Walpeup in northwest Victoria.

The reserve is about 15 hectares in size and was established on the 1st day of May 1979. (CAPAD 2022)

The reserve is located on the corner of Wisneske Road and Pink Lakes Road. It is a small piece of remnant mallee scrub that is surrounded by cleared farming land.
