Nature’s Beauty Revealed walk: Ellis Brook Reserve, Martin

The Armadale and Gosnells regions are blessed with numerous large bush reserves, many of them cared for by local volunteers.

Ellis Brook Valley, located on Rushton Road in the suburb of Martin, is recognised as one of the richest wildflower locations in the Perth Metropolitan Area. It has over 500 species of wildflowers in a beautiful hidden valley only minutes from the Gosnells town centre.

Ellis Brook Valley is a rich breeding site and home for many native and visiting birds, including cockatoos, parrots, pardalotes, splendid-wrens and wedge-tailed eagles. It is also home to kangaroos, possums, bats and other native wildlife.

Springtime, from mid-September to early November, is the best time to visit the Valley, with the wildlife and flowers at their peak.

Meet at the lower carpark on Ruston Road, Martin.

 Please wear suitable clothing and footwear and bring water.
