Katandra is a
sanctuary for flora and fauna where the wildflowers are their most colourful
during spring but all year round there are opportunities for bird watching.
The sanctuary covers 12 hectares and is situated on the Ingleside/Warriewood
escarpment. Choose to follow a short walk of about 1km or the longer 2km
track through rainforest remnants with creeks and fern fringed pools.
Katandra Bushland Sanctuary is a Crown Reserve administered by the Dept
of Lands and managed by
Katandra Bushland Sanctuary Trust.
The Sanctuary was established following a gift of land to the people of NSW by Harold Seymour and was dedicated on 27 October 1967.
