Tarin Rock Book Project

Tarin Rock, a Nature and Water Reserve in the southern Wheatbelt, located between Dumbleyung and Lake Grace, is an oasis of native flora surrounded by farmland. The reserves of the area are very rich in native flora (over 300 species have been recorded for Tarin Rock Nature Reserve alone), of which many are listed as threatened or priority species for conservation. Naturalist Jolanda Keeble has taken an interest in these reserves with the intent of producing a book on the flora of Tarin Rock to provide information to local landholders and visitors to the area. The book will also provide the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and the Attractions (DBCA) with additional flora information to guide the management of the nature reserve
