Excursion to Peter Murrell 
Reserve 
10th. September 2017 
A fter a week of wintery weather the sun was 
shining as 31 members and guests set out on 
our excursion at Peter Murrell Reserve. Our 
guide was Peter Jarman, the President of The Friends 
of Peter Murrell Reserves, and some of their group 
also joined us. 
We began at the Burwood Drive entrance and walked 
along the perimeter of a large area that had been 
burnt in a controlled fire in April this year, it looked 
very desolate. On the other side of the track was an 
area that had been burnt 12 months previously and 
this was showing very healthy signs of regrowth in 
both the trees and the vegetation.

Due to the lack of rain during this past winter the 
spring flowering plants are only just starting to 
appear. We saw a couple of patches of Acianthus 
caudatus (Mayfly orchid) and Pterostylis curta 
(Nodding Greenhood) but it was a little early for the 
many varieties of orchid which are usually found at 
PMR in springtime. 
The reserve has a number of different habitats and 
Peter took us to a special patch with a clay substrate 
that supports a range of plants not commonly found 
in the rest of the reserve. Annie Wapstra has an 
extensive plant list that she has compiled over the 
Tasmanian Field Naturalists Club
