Nadgee Nature Reserve - Recreation
Bushwalking and minimal impact pack camping is available. The recreation opportunities in Nadgee are limited in view of the area's value as a natural area largely undisturbed by modern developments and its outstanding scientific and educational importance.
Fauna of particular interest and confirmed occurrence in the reserve include ground parrots, eastern bristlebirds, little terns, potoroos and pygmy possums. A number of dingo families also live in the area.
Dry open forest areas occur widely throughout Nadgee with patches of rainforest occurring in the upper Nadgee/Battery Creek catchments and low shrubby heaths being encountered at Mt Nadgee and along the coastline.
