Burma Road Nature Reserve is a conservation area in the City of Greater Geraldton local government area of Western Australia.[1] It lies 52 kilometres (32 mi) south of Geraldton and 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of Walkaway. It is a C-class reserve and covers an area of 6,889.5 hectares (17,024 acres). It is predominantly kwongan scrub-heath, typical of the Tathra Vegetation system of Beard and Burns. Almost all the native vegetation within a 20 km (12 mi) radius of the reserve has been cleared. There is only 11% of native vegetation remaining in the area of 1,256.6 km2 (485.2 sq mi), of which most is within the reserve.[2][3]
