DESCRIPTION | One of Council's largest bushland areas, Algona reserve encompasses 15-hectares of bushland nestled between the Peter Murrell Conservation Area and Hawthorn Drive Reserve. Serving as a communal stepping stone in this natural landscape, the reserve plays a crucial role in connecting fragmented communities of Eucalyptus amygdalina (black peppermint) forest and woodland on sandstone. From the showy bossiaea and parrot pea to the rosy baeckea and prickly guinea-flower, Algona Reserve is home to a diverse array of flora, including the vibrant triggerplant and short purple flag-iris. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the reserve's vibrant plant life and appreciate the crucial role it plays in preserving Tasmania’s natural heritage. | |
