The Sanctuary offers wonderful walking trails, and there are birds and various small animals to be seen. Pick up a map at the Kojonup Visitor Centre.

Farrar Dam Reserve

Before the town swimming pool was built in 1970, the Dam was used for swimming and recreational purposes. The main purpose of the Dam was to supply fresh water for steam engines, which was pumped from the Dam to the Railway. 

Features

The Old Railway Dam is man made and is home to numerous water birds, frogs and the long necked tortoise.  Outcrops of granite offer interesting collections of mosses, lichens and flowers.

Flora

Look out for Kojonup's floral emblem - the red Lechenaultia. Gravel areas of the Reserve are home to displays of the bright blue Lechenaultia, the white candle flowers of the Stackhousia, numerous orchids as well as four species of the brilliant orange Gastrolobium peas.
