The site also includes three graves, reminding us of the past. Weira Reserve Just 20km east of Mukinbudin, Weira Reserve offers a breakaway area with gnamma holes. It’s equipped with barbecue facilities, toilets, and picnic areas. While exploring the bush trail, keep an eye out for native orchids in damp areas and the Red Capped Robin.
