The Nurragingy Reserve is an
exceptional Australian natural park and forest, an open nature reserve and an
urban park; it's a significant protected area operated by Blacktown City
Council and owned by Western Sydney Parks Trust; it was opened in 1981.
The park consists of a 4 km long
footpath through bushlands within which the main tree-tops are stands. The
Flora and fauna of the reserve are exceptional; this means you can expect to
see everything from the most miniature kangaroos to enormous parrots and blue
colours.
What's Inside the Reserve?
Although most visitors come to
the park to observe the animals, they also have a growing interest in learning
about the Geology, soil biology and the Aboriginal history of the area.
This is because recent research
has found that many pre-European cultures made their homes here; it is home to
several threatened and endangered species, many of which have already become
extinct.
Visiting the Park is Worth the Time
To start, you can visit the
"Kangaroos National Park", this is one of the most popular activities
in reserve, and this is one of the only places where you can witness kangaroos
in their habitat; no doubt this is one of the true wonders of Australia. If you
would like to know more about this beautiful park, they have a website that
gives a lot of information about the reserve.
You can also view images from
other visitors' experiences and learn about how they found out about this
fantastic place. There is a gift shop with various items for sale; you will
find beautiful Australian made products and other things that can enhance your
trip to Australia.
Attractions Inside
One of the park's main
attractions is the Nurragingy Caravan Park; here, you will be able to hire a
