Blackbutt Reserve

Blackbutt Reserve occupies approximately 182 hectares of land six kilometres from Newcastle city centre. It offers visitors many opportunities to link recreational activities and environmental education with conservation and research programs.

Consisting of Eucalypt forest and pockets of significant remnant vegetation, Blackbutt Reserve boasts a restored rainforest providing habitats for a number of rare and vulnerable species. Vast opportunities for conservation and research exist throughout this unique natural environment.

Blackbutt Reserve is an undulating natural environment consisting of peaceful picnic settings with electric and wood fire barbecues, open spaces, bushwalking trails and a diverse range of habitats and ecosystems. It also features wildlife exhibits which are modern, spacious and allow close viewing of the animals - including koalas, wombats, native birds, emus and kangaroos.

The Koala Encounters program involves a talk on Australia’s most internationally recognised animal by trained Reserve staff. Public Koala Encounters are held at 2.00pm each day.
