Protected area in New South Wales, Australia
Wallumatta Nature Reserve , also called the Macquarie Hospital Bushland , is a 6-hectare (15-acre) nature reserve bushland area, surrounded by the residential suburb of East Ryde , in suburban Sydney, Australia. Once part of the Field of Mars of 1804, the reserve is the largest surviving area of Sydney Turpentine-Ironbark Forest , an endangered ecosystem.[2] Ashfield Shale and Hawkesbury Sandstone .
The word "Wallumatta " is derived from the Eora language for the former local aboriginal inhabitants , meaning snapper (a local fish).[3] [4] turpentine , grey ironbark , red mahogany and Sydney red gum . The tree, grey box is found here, though usually associated with the drier western areas of Sydney . The blueberry ash is also present, a common plant of the wetter more fertile areas of eastern New South Wales.
Native animals recorded include brushtail possum , grey-headed flying fox , blue-tongue lizard and red-bellied black snake . Feral foxes , domestic dogs and cats threaten the indigenous wildlife.[1]
Wallumatta Nature reserve is treated as a "demonstration site", and much bush regeneration work has been carried out to remove weeds and encourage indigenous species. The nature reserve, titled Macquarie Hospital Bushland , was listed on the (now defunct) Register of the National Estate on 15 May 1990.[5] [6] [7]
