Newhaven
Reserve is a unique & diverse area consisting of
many ecosystems. It is abundant with bird, plant &
wildlife. Ideal for specific interest groups - photographers,
artists, writers, bird watchers, etc. However, Newhaven
is well suited to anyone with a sense of adventure,
love of nature & a wish to experience the remote
outback.
Purchased by "Birds Australia" as a Bird & Wildlife
Sanctuary for over 138 Bird species, 5 of which are
threatened. The Reserve also shelters threatened Mammals
such as the carnivorous Mulgara, Black footed Wallaby
and the Marsupial Mole.
