Description

The Pines Flora and Fauna Reserve is an important area of remnant heathland; a protected site for indigenous flora and fauna, some of which are considered to be rare or threatened. It is one of the last remaining habitats for some species, such as the endangered New Holland Mouse and the Southern Brown Bandicoot, which need the cover of the dense heathy vegetation for their survival. It is a precious area of nature in the midst of our urban landscape. Walk through the remnant indigenous bushland and stop at the lookout to enjoy stunning panoramic views of Melbourne, Port Phillip Bay and the Dandenong Ranges.
