Starting from just off South Western Highway, Racecourse Flora Reserve, The Racetrack Circuit takes you on a 1.7-kilometer loop, offering a picturesque stroll amidst protected bushland. Surrounded by farmland, this reserve stands as a vital sanctuary for native flora and fauna. Its name originates from the former race track that once graced the area. Ideal for dog walking, this circuit provides a serene escape into nature. Established in 1999 by the Balingup community, the reserve encompasses abundant flora and areas of conservation significance. Spanning approximately 108 hectares, it serves as an oasis amid cleared land, underlaid by the unique Kirup Conglomerate geological formation. Despite some areas undergoing restoration, much of the reserve remains pristine, with vibrant wildflower displays during spring. The dedicated efforts of the Balingup Friends of the Forest ensure the ongoing protection and restoration of this invaluable natural gem. Let us begin by acknowledging the Bibbulman people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
