Flora: There is a 70ha bushland reserve that borders the Harvey Estuary. This biodiverse reserve is made up of peppermint dominant woodland, banksia mixed woodland, temperate saltmarsh and sedgeland environments. The most dominant tree species include; marri, jarrah, tuart, peppermint and banksia. The diverse understory within the reserve includes 62 species of native orchids and a variety of rare wildflowers. Fauna: There is a large population of the critically endangered western ringtail possum on the reserve along with brushtail possums, brush-tailed phascogale, western grey kangaroo, bush birds, waterbirds and other birds of prey. Active osprey nesting platforms are adjacent to the estuary.

The reserve sits on the eastern side of Mandurah-Eaton Ridge (a long, narrow sand and limestone ridge that extends north-south through the Peel region of Western Australia. It's composed of tertiary-aged sedimentary rocks, including the Tamala Limestone, the Kondinin Formation, and the Yarragadee Formation). The Tamala Limestone is a fossil-rich limestone that forms the uppermost layer of the ridge. The Kondinin Formation is a sandstone and shale unit that underlies the Tamala Limestone and is known for its distinctive pink and green coloration. The Yarragadee Formation is a deeper, more poorly exposed unit, composed of sandstone and siltstone. The Mandurah-Eaton Ridge was formed during the Paleocene and Eocene epochs, between 66 & 34 million years ago, as a result of tectonic uplift and subsequent erosion by wind and water. The ridge, contains several aquifers that provide water to the surrounding region and supports a diverse range of flora adapted to the geology and of the area.

Aboriginal: The Island Point Reserve was used as a major crossing link between west and east of the Peel Harvey Estuary, specially for the indigenous people. The indigenous people traditionally camped in the area and used the shallow waters to cross during low tide. The site also served as a historic stock route between Pinjarra and Bunbury across the Harvey Estuary. Settlers in southern Mandurah depended heavily on this crossing, moving cattle inland every six months from poor coastal pastures to prevent “coastie disease.” Additionally, the Possum Loop trail is a terrific way to discover this region of Noongar significance, with interpretative signage explaining the regions Noongar bush-tucker and medicine.
