The Field Naturalists held a morning walk into
Mulligans reserve on Saturday 7th. Quite apart from the possibility of seeing
Superb parrots and an interesting range of species the grassland flowers are
excelling themselves. We saw dozens of species of wildflowers in the first 500m
and hadn't even entered through the fence.
The spectacle offers a fine opportunity to see what
has been appropriated and altered since our region was 'settled' . The display
probably results from the rainfall patterns of this spring rather than the
government's positive plans for the reserve.
We entered from the traditional "Pine trees"
parking area which is now off Amy Ackman Street, Forde.
