Cypress Views Grassland Reserve
The reserve sits on a rocky knoll above Kororoit Creek to which it remains substantially connected. It's most distinctive feature is an inviting zig-zag walkway to a lookout tower, the developers doing a commendable job of grassland engagement by design with good fencing, edging, placemaking artwork, using roads as firebreaks and having granitic sand edging for ease of maintenance.Â
