Overview
Dryandra Woodland is a reserve managed by the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC). It had previously been used for woodcutting and plantations of Brown Mallet trees, which provided the tannin required to cure leather.
The reserve is located about 22km north-west of the wheatbelt town of Narrogin and about 2 hours drive south-east of Perth. The reserve features various habitats, including Wandoo Woodland, Jarrah Woodland, Mallet Woodland and Kwongan Heathland. There are also a few dams which can yield waterbirds.
Dryandra is most famous for it's mammals rather than it's birds. DEC has baited the reserve with 1080 for many years, reducing the fox population greatly. There are also a few predator proof compounds in the reserve where endangered marsupials are bred. One of these areas - Barna Mia - is open to the public for organised spotlight tours. Mammals in these compounds are - Woylie (Brush-tailed Bettong), Boodie (Burrowing Bettong), Bilby (Rabbit-eared Bandicoot), Quenda (Southern Brown-bandicoot), Mala (Rufous Hare-wallaby) and Mernine (Banded Hare-wallaby). Perhaps the most famous mammal in Dryandra however is the Numbat, which roams freely in the reserve. Being a diurnal species, they are often spotted by visitors. Other mammals on the reserve include Tammar Wallaby, Black-gloved Wallaby and Western Grey Kangaroo.
