Lake Urana Nature Reserve
- Lake Urana Nature Reserve
Lake Urana Nature Reserve is a nature reserve in the Riverina region of New South Wales, Australia. The reserve was created in 1996 and contains 303 hectares. It is on the western shore of Lake Urana, a shallow intermittent lake in a depression. It fills every 10 to 20 years and retains water for several. Both the lake and reserve lie west of the town of Urana.
The woodland in the reserve includes Yellow Box and White Cyprus Pine. Shrubs include Thorny Saltbush, Ruby Saltbush, Western Golden Wattle, Emu Bush and Black Cottongrass. Ground cover is made up of grasses and herbs, with over 70 species having been recorded, including Wiregrass, Speargrass and Nodding Chocolate Lily. On the shore is a narrow area of Red Gum woodland.
Fauna includes Eastern Grey Kangaroos, and 37 bird species have been identified. When the lake floods, waterbirds such as Wood Ducks, Pacific Black Duck, Australian Grey Teal, Yellow Billed Spoonbill, Black Fronted Dotterel and Magpie Larks visit.
