Each year, Bush Heritage offers a variety of opportunities for visitors to connect with some of our amazing conservation reserves. This is a wonderful way for both long‑time supporters and newcomers to experience, firsthand, the incredible places you help us protect.
Our conservation properties span Australia, from vast deserts to lush rainforests and open woodlands. Some locations are very remote, while others are easier to access. Each place offers a unique experience, and we aim to provide opportunities that suit different abilities and interests. We hope you find something that feels right for you.
To safeguard the environments under our care, ensure visitor safety, and allow our teams to focus on critical conservation work, we carefully manage general visitor access to our reserves. As a result, not all properties can be opened for visitation and locations may change from year to year.
New opportunities to visit are added as they become available, so we encourage you to check back regularly or subscribe to our monthly e-news for updates and trip announcements.
Guided trips in vehicles (some light walking)
Combines vehicle based exploration with plenty of stops and short wanders, is a great way of traversing our reserve to experience many of their highlights. Throughout the day, you’ll hear directly from expert field staff as they share insights into the landscapes, wildlife, and conservation projects they manage.
Best for: Participants with moderate mobility who enjoy a mix of driving and gentle walking. Specific details will be provided for each trip.
Guided walks (explore on foot)
For those who love to explore on foot, Guided Walks offer an immersive way to experience our reserves. Led by knowledgeable field staff, each trip may vary in duration and pace, but provide plenty of on-ground time to connect with landscapes and engage with informative discussions from our qualified field staff
Best for: Participants with high mobility and stamina who are comfortable being on their feet for most of the day. Specific details will be provided for each trip.
Field talks (combine a visit with talk by staff)
Join subject experts for engaging presentations held on some of our more accessible reserves. These talks enable you to experience a property from a central base while immersing yourself in a range of conservation-based topics (talk focus and subjects will vary across events). An optional short field excursion will usually be offered for those interested in exploring a little further.
Best for: Participants looking for something less energetic but still offering a knowledge rich experience with minimal mobility requirements. Specific details will be provided for each trip.
Self-guided day visits (For less remote properties. No bookings needed.)
Available year‑round, except during occasional closures for management or safety reasons. These visits are established on some of our less remote properties, usually within a short drive of a town or regional centre; perfect for an easy day trip or as part of a longer journey.
Explore at your leisure; enjoy a picnic, follow the guided walking trails, and take in the natural surroundings. Please tread lightly and leave no trace. No bookings are required, but for your safety, check weather conditions before you travel and don’t visit during storms or on days rated as very high fire danger.
Best for: Self‑sufficient visitors who are capable of exploring independently.
Camping stays (Seasonal at select remote reserves. Bookings required.)
These seasonal campgrounds located on some of our remote properties, offer a chance to immerse yourself in these protected landscapes, with access to designated self‑guided drives and walks that highlight key features of the property.
Visitor numbers are limited, and facilities are minimal; true bush camping. Campers must be fully self‑sufficient with all supplies, equipment, and safety gear. Bookings are essential and are best made in advance to secure one of our limited sites.
On-line registration available two months prior to the camping season opening.
Best for: Experienced remote travellers who are self‑reliant and able to manage their own safety and comfort. Visitors must meet the specified safety requirements for accessing these reserves.
Reminders about upcoming guided trips and other visitation opportunities are included in our e-news.
These are great opportunities for people who are self-sufficient and experienced at travelling unaided and who want to explore at their own pace.
Get to know a truly magical wilderness. At Liffey River Reserve, stroll along Pages Creek and through stunning rainforest, keeping an eye out for local wildlife. Bob Brown's house at Oura Oura Reserve, nestled under the imposing Drys Bluff, has played a significant role in the conservation movement.
WA’s Kojonup Reserve stands out from the nearby cleared country as a chaotic, magical bushland filled with chattering bird life.
Due to sustained drought and extreme heat, Boolcoomatta is currently closed for camping.
Carnarvon Station is currently closed for camping. This is due to fuel shortages and the impact this has had on public roads to Carnarvon, as well as our need to focus resources on essential conservation work.
* Closed until further notice *
The Paperbark Forest Walk is closed to the public due to safety issues and the pressure that visitation is placing on this sensitive ecosystem. Our team is assessing options for responsible upgrades to the walk, in the hope we can find a solution to allow visitors to safely enjoy this beautiful environment, while ensuring its protection.
We expect it will take some time before we know more, at which point we will update our website and local networks.
Many thanks for your cooperation
