two chimneys reserve

 




Location

Two Chimneys Reserve is on the eastern coast of Norfolk Island.


Size

This reserve occupies 14 hectares of land.

 

Geology

The reserve contains rolling hills and deep valleys.  In the southern section, a wide valley slopes down to the sea.  There is a basalt lava flow underneath the reserve.  The soil is rich and clayey which drains quickly.


Why is it important for conservation?

Two Chimneys Reserve contains remnant coastal forest with areas of White Oak and mature Norfolk Island Pine.  Most of the other native trees are found in this reserve.  The coastal cliff plant communities don’t contain many weeds.

During World War II there were a number of gun posts in the reserve to defend the island in case of enemy invasion.


Best Bits

  1. •    There is a fairly easy walk down to the sea.

  2. •    The picnic area is large enough for big family gatherings. 

  3. •    White Terns, Ghostbirds and Tropic Birds nest in this reserve.
