Yellow Gum Nature Reserve | Place, City of Greater Geelong

Report an issue at a park, reserve or on public land.

This reserve is protected by a Trust for Nature covenant.
The covenant is a legal agreement designed to permanently conserve and protect the land, plants, trees, grasses and wildlife.

Formerly a cattle farm, this 9.3-hectare reserve includes
grassy woodland, which is endangered in our region. It
contains one of the last large populations of Bellarine Yellow Gums. It also provides important habitat for wildlife, in particular the critically-endangered Swift Parrot, which is known to visit in winter to forage on eucalypt blossoms. The reserve is next to the Ocean Grove Nature Reserve, making it a significant area for nature conservation.
