Description

Cooinda Reserve is the perfect location to stop and relax with amenities, covered BBQ area and a place to let the dogs have a run. The huge Poppet Head and Neelds hut are a reminder of the historic past of West Wyalong and Wyalong. Read about the history and other secrets of our past on the interpretative panels in the area and check out the replica Malleefowl nest, metal junk art and history of eucalyptus oil in West Wyalong. If you feel like a long walk, Cooinda Park is the start of the Green Corridor walk along the water run off all the way to McCann Park in West Wyalong. Across the road is a beautiful Wetlands which is a wonderful attraction for many birds. It is accessible to motorbikes, RVs, camper trailers, caravans and big rigs. Large vehicles use caution as there are a few low branches. If you enter near the main road there is a big enough gap to get through. Facilities include toilets, potable water, picnic tables, rubbish bins, bbq facilities and a dump point. Caution the ground can be soft when wet.
