Lloyd Reserve is a 16ha strip of land between the Toodyay Road and the Avon River.
It was once a part of Avon Location V, purchased by the Lloyd Family in the early 1800s, but subsequently cut off by the road and railway in the later part of the century.
The TFOR have had a Management Agreement on the reserve since 2003, and currently has this agreement with the SOT. In 2011 TFOR completed a ‘Strategic Development Plan‘ for the reserve.
The Toodyay Naturalists Club has supported the TFOR in developing walk tracks along the Avon River. A Bird Hide has been constructed on Red Bank Pool, adjacent to Lloyd Reserve and the Bilya Walk Track.
Named after Club Member and well-known local bird expert John Masters, the hide is a great feature at Red Banks Pool, along with a picnic table and seating. The Bilya walk track receives a good deal of people traffic.

Over the weekend of the 5th September this year, we will be conducting a BioBlitz in Julimar State Forest. A BioBlitz is a snapshot in time, looking at the biodiversity of an area, recording what is seen and found during a specified, short period of time, usually over a weekend.
If you are an expert keen to offer your skills as a leader, or maybe you are a nature enthusiast, a citizen scientist or just interested in how a BioBlitz works – we would love to hear from you.
This guide is the work of the members of the Toodyay Naturalists’ Club Inc. It is a commemorative publication with member contributions celebrating fifty years from foundation (1968 to 2018).
The Club’s previous publication on this subject ‘The Avon Valley: a Naturalists’ View’’, published in 1986, provided a comprehensive list of one Toodyay reserve; it also covered other reserves in the Avon Valley. This publication is confined to the Shire of Toodyay.
In compiling this guide, members of the Toodyay Naturalists’ Club Inc. acknowledge the first inhabitants, the Ballardong People, as carers of a unique and biological diverse landscape. Additionally, they reference many of the contemporary works available that cover the Shire of Toodyay. The guide also provides links to further reading about the flora and fauna of the region. a brief description appears on the rear cover.
