The Friends of McAulay Reserve come together to protect and improve the conservation values of this suburban bushland jewel.

McAulay Reserve contains threatened native grasslands and thick trunked white gums that are big, rare and magnificent.

It is not uncommon to find masked owls and ring-tail possums in this reserve, reflecting the value of their work.

Meets: Second Sunday of the month, 2 pm - 4.30 pm.
