Tutanning – Percy Marshall Research Centre

An important natural remnant of original fauna and flora in the Wheatbelt, this A-class reserve is about 2,200 hectares and encompasses the Dutarning Range.

It is nestled among agricultural land, making it a vital fauna refuge. The ongoing vegetation research, monitoring and fire management ensure habitats are supported for the endangered Woylie, Tammar Wallabies, Numbats, Possums, and Red-tailed Phascogales. Bushwalking, bird watching, wildflower rambles, trail driving and spotlighting or just unwinding are some of the activities you can do.

Short stays are available at the Percy Marshall Field Study Centre. This was built in 1963 as the first biological research station and living quarters. The Centre offers dormitory-style accommodation (exclusive use of one room per family). Two rooms with single bunks only. There are six beds in one room and four in the other.

Self-contained RV camping is also available, strictly for fully self-contained vehicles only. Sites are all unpowered and it is natural bushland camping, all centred around the main facility.

Flora and Fauna lists are available on request.

This is a hosted stay through Hipcamp.
