In 1987, the State Government set aside 96 hectares (240 acres) as an A-class reserve,[2] and funding from the Bicentennial Commemorative Program and assistance from local organisations facilitated the establishment of the Star Swamp Heritage Trail within the reserve.[3]
Star Swamp contains a history trail that spans a 1.4 km (0.87 mi) walk. The trail contains ten points of interest, each marked with a plaque and sign.[3]
Star Swamp has been the site of many bushfires.[4] The most recent occurred on 21 March 2023 and burnt approximately 6.5 hectares[5] of the 96 hectare A-class reserve. The fire was believed to be deliberately lit.[6]
