Welcome to Sheoak Ridge Nature Reserve
Formerly known as the “Noli Block”, Sheoak Ridge was sold as useless land because the topography and vegetation cover were not conducive to agriculture.
One person’s trash is another person’s treasure
Since its purchase in 2000, Sheoak Ridge is seen in a very different light by its owners and is now highly valued for its ecological diversity. Spread over 165 acres you’ll find open eucalyptus woodlands, riparian rainforest, melaleuca wetlands, billabongs and complex ecotones. Needless to say, with this much diversity in habitats, there is also great diversity in wildlife.
We had an in-depth website that was taken over, so our apologies for having to start from scratch again. Some links go nowhere just yet, but will in the coming months as we spend time on rebuilding it again.
We are now on Facebook as a page and a group. Simply search for “Sheoak Ridge Nature Reserve” on facebook and click “like” or “join” to get an insider’s view of what goes on here 🙂
