Broad acre dry farming

A chance to see seasonal farming operations, some of the large machinery needed to crop some of the biggest paddocks you’ll ever see and you may even get a ride in a harvester.

Landcare

The work that has made this property an award winner. Thousands of trees have been planted in the last two decades and many areas of remnant vegetation have been protected.

Bush and wildflowers

Great photo opportunities! Brilliant carpets of wildflowers are just one part of the amazing diversity the vegetation on Riverside exhibits. There is always something flowering in the bush and many species have been collated for our own herbarium.

Native fauna

There are always plenty of native animals to see, including the pets and marsupials at night (see Night Tours).

Mining heritage

From some of Western Australia’s first mines. The first lead mines operated in this area and you can visit the historic mines of Geraldine and Galena and hear their stories from a very knowledgeable guide and local historian.

Local indigenous history

A number of protected Aboriginal sites are present on Riverside Sanctuary. See the stones used for grinding food and discover the seeds used for food and other types of bush tucker.

Protected river ecosystems

There is 15km of the Murchison River running through the property. This area has been protected from stock for the last 35 years. Take a stroll to the river on our walk trails and see the wildlife and vegetation that has returned.
