About Manse Reserve
Remnant Eucalyptus Woodland at Manse Reserve
Manse Reserve is covered by remnant eucalyptus woodland, with a large stand of old trees at the corner of The Avenue and Mount Druitt Road. Long grass grows beneath the trees across the corner section. The native trees at Manse Reserve include grey box and narrow-leafed ironbark, and the native grass is kangaroo grass. Non-native privet and oleander also grow across the reserve. Mown grass and scattered eucalyptus trees extend to the south and east of The Manse, so the shaded areas and open grass sit close together.
The Manse Heritage Building at Manse Reserve
The Manse is the heritage-listed former residence at the centre of Manse Reserve, and it is now home to the Mount Druitt Historical Society as a community museum. The building is currently undergoing renovation and repairs. A chain link fence encloses The Manse. A Meals on Wheels building stands next to The Manse on the reserve side. Blacktown City Council owns The Manse, which sits within the wider reserve land.
