Dryandra Woodland Candy Block

Located 19 kilometres north of Narrogin on the Narrogin Wandering Road, Candy Block is a Dryandra Woodland ‘satellite block’ near the Cuballing West Road.

It is ‘great to be alive’ country, which changes from peaceful and attractive woodlands to steep breakaways and good views.

The landscape is steeper and more varied than the main Dryandra block, with some surprising areas, unusual wildflowers, and good bird watching. Yellow sand kwongan (shrub plain with scattered mallees) comes alive with shrub wildflowers in September and October

There are no picnic areas, or other facilities, and camping is not permitted. Do not take pets as baits are laid in the reserve to protect the native wildlife from feral animals.

The Three Mesa Trail

3.5 KILOMETRES

This is a 3.5km grade 3 walk with some steep sections. The trail meanders over three separate laterite mesas via breakaways and valleys. Note how the woodland and associated wildflowers vary on each mesa. Check out the giant 400-year-old ‘Grandfather Grass Tree’ This walk has loose gravel areas and some moderately steep slopes.

Kwongan Trail

1.5 KILOMETRES

The trail is an easy 1.5km walk through mainly sandy soils. A highlight is yellow sand kwongan bush with a wealth of flowering shrubs that reach a peak around October. The country changes to sandy marri-parrot bush woodland with cowslip orchids and fragrant white Honey Myrtle shrubs in spring. If you are lucky, you may find Frog Greenhood, Beard, and Blue Sun orchids in powderbark/ wandoo spot near the end of the walk in mid/late October.
