From this point on you are now travelling through the “A” Class
Nature Reserve. A good part of this road passes through the Plumridge Lakes
Nature Reserve, one of six “A” Class Nature
Reserves in the WA Section of the
Great Victoria Desert. The difference between a
Nature Reserve and a National Park is the same throughout Australia. The Purpose of a National Park is for wildlife and landscape conservation, scientific study and the preservation of features of archaeological, historic interest, together with
recreation enjoyment by the Public. Nature
Reserves are for conservation of flora and fauna and as described for National Parks, but without the
recreation component, so as to minimize the human impact.
