Langwarrin Flora & Fauna Reserve 

More photos   

Langwarrin Flora and Fauna Reserve is an island of relatively undisturbed natural bushland surrounded by the suburbs of Frankston and Langwarrin. Following recognition of its important conservation values, the Victorian Government purchased the former military area from the Commonwealth Government in 1982 and it was proclaimed as the Langwarrin Flora and Fauna Reserve in December 1985.

During World War 1 German prisoners of war were detained at the reserve and a hospital was set up for the treatment of soldiers returning from France and Egypt with venereal disease.

The reserve is a very important habitat for native fauna, particularly small mammals. You may see koalas, Brown Bandicoots and Swamp Wallabies but smaller species such as the rare New Holland Mouse are much harder to find. A total of 94 bird species, including the rare Southern Emu-wren have been recorded.
