Avalon Headland boasts a number of Aboriginal heritage sites. A significant wildlife habitat, St Michael’s Cave shelters several hundred Bentwing Bats and some Large-eared Pied Bats, both of conservation significance.
The reserve is also prime habitat for several sea-birds and raptors. The Sooty Oystercatcher is often sighted foraging on the rock platforms below.
