About this park

Welcome to Tutanning Nature Reserve and the Percy Marshall Field Study Centre. 

Discover a sanctuary in the heart of the wheatbelt teeming with diverse flora and fauna, from splendid wrens and chuditch to numbats, kangaroos, frogs, lizards, and so much more.

Stay overnight at the Percy Marshall Field Study Centre and enjoy the serene sounds of nature from the wrap around verandah – it’s the perfect spot to sit back at sunrise or sunset.

There’s so much to explore including walk trails, drive trails, bird watching, looking for wildflowers, spotlighting for wildlife and in the wetter season fungi foray! Definitely pack your binoculars and field guides!  

Safety information

Plan when to visit. Read this safety information about bushwalking. Consider travelling with a personal location beacon (PLB). In the event you need to be rescued it could save your life!  

Western Shield - The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions undertakes 1080 baiting at this location to reduce the impacts of feral cats and foxes on native wildlife. 

Meat baits containing 1080 poison are laid in or around this area on an ongoing basis. 1080 is poisonous to humans and will kill domestic cats and dogs. Pets are not permitted in this park.

For further information contact your local Parks and Wildlife Service office or visit Western Shield.

Getting there

The reserve is approximately 39km east of Pingelly (approx. 45 min drive).  From Perth, head towards Brookton on Brookton Highway, then turn south on Great Southern Highway towards Pingelly. In Pingelly, turn left off the Highway onto Pasture Street. Continue on Brown Street then right to stay on Brown Street. This road becomes the Pingelly-Wickepin Road, travel for another 13.5 km then a left turn at Marshall Road, travelling along for another 5.3km until you arrive at the nature reserve boundary. From here, travel east along the boundary access track following the fenceline, for 1.5km until you reach the Percy Marshall Field Study Centre. 

Park boundaries are approximations only and should not be used for navigation or orientation purposes.
