Eurardy Reserve is a 30,050-hectare (74,300-acre) nature reserveinWestern Australia. It is 145 kilometres (90 mi) north of Geraldton, 275 kilometres (171 mi) south of Carnarvon and 530 kilometres (330 mi) north of Perth.

Landscape and vegetation[edit]

The reserve has a flat relief supporting vegetation associations of high conservation value, including Mallalie ( Eucalyptus eudesmoides, bowgada and jam scrub with York gum and red mallee woodlands. It is well known for its display of spring wildflowers.^[1]

Although these became locally extinct, recent reintroductions into Kalbarri National Park may herald a return to the reserve.
