Named after Michael Perry - Councillor, Alderman and Mayor from 1958 to 1983 - this reserve is part of the former Clifton Estate established in the 1850s by George Sismey, who was an early investor in the mine and quarry industries of South Australia.

The reserve was created in the 1970s after subdivision of the historic Clifton Estate, one of South Australia’s most historic homesteads.

Michael Perry Botanic Reserve in Stonyfell is one of our most iconic reserves and is well used by walkers who enjoy the trail along Second Creek.
