All the secrets about Blackbutt Reserve: Once a coal mine, Blackbutt Reserve is now Newcastle’s beating green heart – only ten minutes from the city centre. Take a stroll through the bush, meet native wildlife, be dwarfed by soaring gums and listen to a cacophony of bird calls. And the best bit? Entry is free. Its name comes from the Blackbutt Tree Blackbutt (cue laughter from anyone under 12) is named after the Eucalyptus pilularis better known as blackbutt, one of Australia's most important hardwoods. Many Australian homes boast beautiful blackbutt wooden floors. While most blackbutt trees in the reserve were cut down for the establishment of a mine, remaining trees are nests for the vulnerable powerful owl. A remnant of Blackbutt’s rainforest meanwhile is home to the threatened Grey headed Flying Fox. It's thanks to tireless campaigning that Blackbutt exists It’s hard to believe now but during the Depression, Blackbutt was earmarked for 500 homes. Later a motorway was planned that would have cut through the heart of the reserve. This glorious 182-hectare swathe of bush skirting Kotara and New Lambton would not exist had it not been for Joe Richley who persuaded New Lambton Council to buy 6ha of New Lambton bushland in 1934. This formed the basis of Blackbutt Reserve and Richley Reserve is named in his honour. Newcastle's first female Lord Mayor Joy Cummings and local conservation groups also tirelessly campaigned for the establishment of Blackbutt Reserve. The best time to see the koalas is feeding time They’re the stars of Blackbutt but koalas can sleep for up to 22 hours a day so the best time to see these sleepy heads is 1.30-2.30pm. Blackbutt’s four resident koalas are housed in the main aviary which they share with birds mainly found on Australia’s east coast. Jarrah, a cuddly 12-year-old koala – is the most affectionate of the four, says head keeper Matthew Cormack. But Chloe, Gizmo and Kirra are super cute too. Tip: If you can, visit midweek when you may almost have the place to yourself. You can see up to 60 animal species Aside from koalas, take a walk along the boardwalk to see birds (including kingfishers, black cockatoos), wombats, reptiles such as the eastern long-necked turtle, diamond pythons and eastern blue-tongued lizards to name but a few. You’ll also see barking owls, Giggle and Hoot (they sound just like a dog barking), echidnas, frogs and, if you’re lucky, tawny frog mouths and shy sugar gliders in the nocturnal house. Feeding Times: Wombats (Sally and Clyde) are fed at 10.30am Rainbow lorikeets are feed a specially made nectar at 10.45am Peacocks freely roam the reserve while a separate enclosure is home to kangaroos and emus which you can feed any time of day. 4K Walking,Sydney Walking tour, Sydney Walk, Sydney Walking tour 4k, Sydney Walker, Sydney walking tour 2021, Sydney Walking around, Sydney Walking tour night, Sydney walk rain, Sydney Walkthrough, Sydney walk 4k, Walkwithme, Walk with me Sydney tour, Walking tour, Walking video, walking tour 4k, walking tours videos, Walking tour Australia, Walking tour night, Walking tour of Sydney, Walking tour youtube,
