Down Road Nature Reserve is a protected area of Western Australia in the south-western part of the state. It is located approximately northwest of Albany. The nature reserve was gazetted on 7 October 1932, has a size of 7.77km2, and is located within the Jarrah Forest bioregion.[1] [2]
The protected area is near the village of Drome. There are a few unpaved paths through the area. A small river also flows through the area. Marbellup Flats and Seven Mile Creek wetlands extend into the sanctuary.
Beaufortia sparsa grow in the nature reserve. The forest in the sanctuary is a mixed forest of Jarrah and Marri trees.[3]
