The 'Dorrobbee Grass' is a 6-hectare community managed reserve on the corner of Dunoon Road and Frazer Road just north of Dunoon village. It was originally gazetted as a public reserve in 1878 as a 400-acre parcel of open grassland. The open grassy clearing within the broader Big Scrub was and still is clearly a site of significance to the Widjabul/Wia-bal people. The land managers today are a team of local volunteers appointed by Crown Lands. We acknowledge the Widjabul/Wia-bal as traditional custodians of this land, have deep respect for the cultural values of this site and appreciation for traditional cultural fire practices that were implemented across this grassland for thousands of years. We wish to maintain the grasses through cool burn management in partnerships with the Widjabul/Wia-bal community and Aboriginal rangers. We welcome community involvement in the management of the grasslands. We hold working bees on the first Sunday of every month between 8:30 and 11am.

The Dorrobbee Grass team will be burning off some small piles of Bamboo this morning. We don't expect it will be a lot of smoke but it will likely be quite noisy. Not gunshots 🙂 just popping bamboo.

Blessed to have the grasslands as part of my morning walk.

Just taken these pictures at Dorrobbee Grasslands Reserve.
We would ask the individual who has ridden an off road motorcycle around the grasslands to please not do that.
It has a variety of plants that could be severely impacted.

If you have any information you can offer please don't respond here. PM me.

If you happen to know the individual, please ask them not to ride on the grasslands.

Thanks 🙏

Hi All.
Just in case you're having a quick coffee before getting your rain coat and heading to the grasslands we are postponing 8am.
Just discussing now wether we could do an hr or two later in the day.

Dorrobbee Grass volunteer working bee this Sunday 1st of Feb 8am to 10.30. The main task is removing seed heads of exotic grasses - bring a bag and secatuers. Easy work but very helpful to have many hands. Welcome to come along just an hour if that's all you can spare.
