Tramway Hill Reserve
Tramway Hill Reserve is a small area of about 20 acres located in the hills above Margate at approximately 200 metres above sea level of Tabors Road.
The Reserve is named after the Kaoota Tramway that ran at the bottom of the hill and took Coal and timber from Kaoota and Snug Tiers to Margate Wharf.
The reserve is looked after by the Tramway Hill Landcare Group and the Kingborough Council with working bees twice a year in spring and autumn or as needed.
For more information about the reserve go to : http://www.kingborough.tas.gov.au/webdata/resources/files/Page_28.pdf
The reserve is mainly covered with exotic grass but there is a small area of Themeda triandra rock plate grassland on the reserve that the group is regenerating.
