Blackbutt Nature Reserve

Blackbutt Nature Reserve

This amazing reserve is only minutes from The Apollo hotel and occupies over 182 hectares of natural bushland providing visitors with the opportunity to enjoy nature trails, wildlife exhibits, children's playgrounds or passive recreation. The Reserve's undulating natural environment is the perfect place to explore the wonders of nature with its peaceful picnic settings, wide open spaces and the diverse range of habitats and ecosystems.

The modern and spacious wildlife exhibits provide close viewing of the various native animals on display. The exhibited animals and interpretative signage located along the boardwalk (both wheelchair and pram friendly) provide an opportunity for visitors to observe the fauna and learn about each species.

Comprising Eucalyptus Forest and pockets of significant remnant vegetation, Blackbutt Reserve boasts a restored rainforest providing habitats for a number of rare and vulnerable species.

Featuring a variety of play areas for the kids

Blackbutt Nature Reserve also boasts a variety of playgrounds and grassy areas to keep the kids happy. They can climb the nature inspired play equipment and run wild on the soft grass. There's also concrete pathways suitable for scooters and small bikes.
