A total fire ban has been declared across Banyule and all other parts of Victoria for today. No fires can be lit or be allowed to remain alight in the open air at any time on 22 February 2025.
The reserve is part of the important Plenty River wildlife corridor that connects to the Yarra River. It can be accessed by the Plenty River Trail, and provides views of the Plenty River from the nearby blue-stone bridge (once a part of Old Lower Plenty Road). Banyule's Bushland Management Unit maintains the reserve. If you would like to help out, join the Friends of Plenty River. They meet on the second Sunday of each month.
