Kurrawonga Reserve
Kurrawonga Reserve is a 40-hectare private conservation property managed by Nature Glenelg Trust in western Victoria, Australia. It is located near the town of Nelson and borders the Lower Glenelg National Park.
History
The property was donated by Bill and Kate Moore's adult children in 2018 to Nature Glenelg Trust. The Moore family previously used Kurrawonga as a weekender where the family would retreat from Mount Gambier to a cottage within the brown stringy-bark and manna gum forest. Following its acquisition by Nature Glenelg Trust, there are ongoing efforts to ensure the intact remnant bushland remains in an excellent condition.Ecology
