Seymour Bushland Park

The Seymour Bushland Park has high conservation significance within the Mitchell Shire. Box-Ironbark Forest is a threatened vegetation type and hosts a large number of threatened native fauna species, particularly birds.

The 65.4 hectares park was originally part of a 360 hectares Kitchener Military Camp, used for military training from 1910 to the 1960s. Seymour Bushland Park was established as a reserve in 1978 to allow the natural environment to re-generate.

Orchids and wildflowers have re-established on-site and are a highlight of this reserve during spring. The park is also an ideal site for birdwatching, providing habitat to a large number of native birds.
