Fauna: The reserve is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, among its inhabitants is the protected carpet python (Morilia spilota imbricata). A variety of waterbirds, including black swans, often drink freshwater at the edge of the spring. Splendid wrens, ospreys, whistling kites, pelicans and cormorants are also observed regulary at the site. Other significant fauna present at the site include quenda, brushtail possums and the critically endangered western ringtail possum. Flora: The vegetation around the springs includes a mix of banksia and tuart woodlands, it then leads to saltmarshes with saltwater paperbarks. The most dominant species include eucalypt tuart, rudis, saltwater paperbarks and samphire. Understory species such as templetonia and a variety of orchids such as the carousel spider orchid and the donkey orchid are present in the area. Unfortunately, these orchids are outcompeted by weed species following the last fire in the area and populations are on the decline.

Yolka Maya is perched upon a limestone formation on the Eastern slope of the Mandurah Eaton Ridge. The reserve has significant geological attributes that include exposed Tamala limestone, a freshwater spring and shoreline lagoonal deposits. The Eaton Sand Unit beneath the Mandurah Eaton Ridge hosts an aquifer that is recharged by rainfall and infiltration through the ridge’s karst features. Springs occur along the ridge base and the Harvey Estuary shoreline, providing key discharge points. This site highlights the area’s unique hydrogeology and the interface between its geological units. (Jamie van Jones)

Aboriginal: Warrungup Spring Reserve is a significant site in the Bindjareb area, historically important as a birthing place for the Bindjareb yorgas (women). The name "Warrungup" is believed to mean "three become", referring to the location where three streams meet to create the Spring, an essential water source (Yates and Walley, 2005). Warrungup can also bee interpreted to mean "wild water”, a fitting description for the powerful flow seen in winter. This spring has sustained both Aboriginal people and early European settlers, making it a significant site of cultural connection and survival.

Somewhat degraded in areas, a series of large limestone boulders has been placed strategically to prevent vehicle access and allow regeneration of the reserves and foreshore area. Shelters, picnic tables and seating. No BBQ's on site, despite BBQ signage.
