Located in Gawler, South Australia, Dead Man's Pass Reserve is a lovely place to walk your dog or to just enjoy a walk in nature on a sunny winter's day.
The area is alive with sound as the six species of frog that call it home vie with each other to see who is the loudest.
It is also home to several species of birds, including the Australian Reed Warbler.
If you're ever in Gawler during winter and you're looking for somewhere to take a walk, or have a picnic, be sure to check out Dead Man's Pass reserve.
