- Summary
- This reserve contains a series of parallel gravel depressions with dryland shrubs dominant, and between, a grassland of mostly native species. The seaward margin includes some back sand dunes. The reserve should be extended to include the sand dune sequence and perhaps west to include more of this peculiar and rare vegetation.
