Pauline Laing The boardwalk over this reserve runs from Blackburn Rd, near the corner of Duerdin St, and near a bus stop, into the campus. Its an excellent, accessible walk for a afternoon, as well as useful access to the university. There are signs at both ends of the boardwalk. After the boardwalk you can stroll around a lake, although this path is much rougher. Plenty of birds to see from the boardwalk, and I think I saw a river turtle. Lots of dragonflies too. The reserve is actively used by students in biological science, so you may see signs of their work. An unexpected bonus - the universitys free wifi reaches the reserve.

Evelyn Chiodi The Jock Marshall Reserve is a beautiful section just off the main Monash Campus for students and staff alike to unwind. The reserve itself is inaccessible to non-staff/non-ecology student members as there are safety and conservatory measures in place, however the surrounding gardens and lake are available for walks, bird-watching, gatherings and relaxation.

Margaret Wong A walkway has recently been added over the Jock Marshal Reserve; an area within the Clayton Campus of Monash University. The reserve has been established since the early 1960s and is used for biological and ecological research. So there is a flourishing ecosystem to be admired as you cross the walkway. There were quite a large number of species of birds, insects , tadpoles visible during my short walk. The highlight was wood mynahs chasing off a Kookaburra , sadly I missed photographing this ... next time??

Ryan Jones Jock Marshall Reserve is located in the Monash University, Clayton campus and is a very beautiful natural environment.
However, it can sometimes be confusing to navigate or find your classroom. This is an unfortunate downside for such a lovely place
