Carnarvon Station Reserve
Sharing a border with Queensland’s Carnarvon Gorge National Park, Carnarvon Station is one of the last strongholds for woodland species like Koala, Northern Quolls, Herbert’s Rock Wallabies, the Greater Glider, the Dingo, Corben’s Longeared Bat, Turquoise Parrots, Glossy-Beaked Cockatoos and others that have been driven out of large portions of Eastern Australia.
The station is a 60,000-hectare valley of eucalyptus forests, bluegrass grasslands and natural springs in the middle of the largest remnant of the Brigalow Belt Ecoregion—one of the most extensive, fertile, well-watered places in Northern Australia—and is home to a recorded 170 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and insects, as well as hundreds of species of plants and a large number of Australia’s wonderful freshwater fish species.
Birders, mammal watchers, fieldherpers and freshwater fish enthusiasts will love Carnarvon Station. Only camping is available and reservations must be made through the Bush Heritage website well in advance.
