Peter Murrell Reserves and Coffee Creek Track (7.8km)

You can walk, ride or cycle for as little or as long as you like through this large reserve. A variety of tracks, catering for different users, criss-cross the sandy terrain, interspersed with small creeks and ponds (see detailed user map). The reserve is well known for its beautiful wildflower display from late winter to summer, including more than 35 orchid species. It's also rich in birdlife (including a breeding colony of the endangered forty-spotted pardalote) and mammals (potaroos, bettongs, eastern barred bandacoots, Bennetts wallabies and bats). Friends of Peter Murrell Reserves actively care for this reserve. The reserves were named after Peter Murrell, who was appointed as the first director of the PWS when it was established in 1971 as a modern organisation to manage Tasmania's National Parks , World Heritage Areas and over 400 reserves like this one.
