Paruna Wildlife Sanctuary: Everything You Need To Know

Just an hour outside of Perth, you’ll find the Paruna Wildlife Sanctuary: nestled in the Avon Valley, the sanctuary is home to picturesque trails, and is an essential wildlife corridor that links its two neighbouring national parks. Filled with a dramatic variety of flora across its varied landscapes, there are hikes for just about every ability level.

What is it?

A wildlife sanctuary, Paruna is managed by Australian Wildlife Conservancy – Australia’s largest private land owners and managers for conservation. With a diverse range of habitats within the 1,941 hectare sanctuary, it’s been the site of several translocations of species, as well as establishing successful wild, self-sustaining populations of Black-flanked Rock-wallabies and Tammar Wallabies. The managed area also supports a number of endangered species, like the Chuditch (Western Quoll), and the Honey Possum.

Across the Sanctuary you’ll see majestic Jarrah and Marri forests, ridges of Powderbark, and Flooded Gum and Melaleuca Paperbarks along the riverbanks. Steep slopes, exposed granite and numerous streams and creeks characterise the spectacular landscape.
