The 498 hectare Bungendore Park bushland reserve is home to a wide variety of plants and animals. The park, located on the western edge of the Darling Scarp displays a wide range of soils, topography and vegetation types, producing well over 300 different plant species. Most of the park is open Jarrah-Marri forest with a typical suite of understorey shrubs and orchids. The park also features many blossoms, a fact which helped it to earn its name, which means ‘place of the gum blossom’ in Aboriginal language.
