The Charleville Botanical Reserve aims to showcase the region’s vegetation within a 2,000 hectare reserve, just 15km south of Charleville.

The 30km driving route around the reserve takes you through spinifex and mulga forest, across a gidgee swamp and over a sand ridge to the mixed floodplain with poplar box and cypress communities along the Warrego River.

There’s plenty of bird-watching to be had, although the best time to visit the Charleville Botanical Reserve is in spring, when the desert myrtle turns the landscape pink.

Things to do:

- Bird Watching

- Spinifex Walk 1.9km

- 20 and 30 km 4WD and AWD self-guided drive

- Picnic tables are located throughout the reserve

Access

- 2WD to 1.5km, after that 4WD for the remainder 28.5km self-guided drive

- Reserve may be closed after rain.

Please ask at the Charleville Visitor Information Centre, situated in the Charleville Railway Station, for directions and road conditions and to pick up a brochure.
