    Carnarvon Station Reserve Queensland 7 – 17 October 2014 Bush Blitz species discovery program Carnarvon Station Reserve, Queensland 7–17 October 2014 What is Bush Blitz? Bush Blitz is a multi-million dollar partnership between the Australian Government, BHP Billiton Sustainable Communities and Earthwatch Australia to document plants and animals in selected properties across Australia. This innovative partnership harnesses the expertise of many of Australia’s top scientists from museums, herbaria, universities, and other institutions and organisations across the country. Abbreviations ABRS Australian Biological Resources Study ALA Atlas of Living Australia ANH Australian National Herbarium ANIC Australian National Insect Collection CANBR Centre for Australian National Biodiversity Research (Australian National Herbarium) EPBC Act Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Commonwealth) NCA Nature Conservation Act 1992 (Queensland) QM Queensland Museum Page 2 of 44 Carnarvon Station Reserve, Queensland 7–17 October 2014 Summary A Bush Blitz survey was conducted at Carnarvon Station Reserve in Central Queensland between 7 and 17 October 2014. The reserve sits within the Brigalow Belt bioregion, which is one of the most extensive, fertile and well- watered areas in Northern Australia. The vast majority of this bioregion has been cleared of vegetation for agriculture. This former cattle station has been a Bush Heritage property since 2001 and encompasses a valley flanked by mountains. Past grazing has impacted the vegetation of the valleys and plains but not the rugged hills. The reserve protects a wide range of habitats and at least 10 threatened species. The lowland woodlands and bluegrass downs that cover much of the valley floor are important additions to the rugged ranges protected in neighbouring Carnarvon National Park.

  • 1:1 Aims Chapter One Introduction
    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1:1 AIMS During 1968-69 the Department of Aboriginal and Island Affairs and the Queensland ~fuseum received many reports alleging deliberate vandalism to Aboriginal art and burial sites both within the confines of Carnarvon National Park and on cattle stations adjacent to its western, southern and eastern boundaries. Consequently in August 1969 the writer in his capacity as a Warden under the Aboriginal Relics Act carried out a preliminary inspection of Aboriginal sites on the upper Warrego and upper Maranoa rivers. As a result members of the Specialists advisory committee set up under the relics act informally approached the Queensland ~~seum to undertake a survey of the region. During this same period I had applied for admission to candidature for the M.A. degree at the University of New England. Coincidentally my future supervisor suggested a survey of the Carnarvon rock art. The subsequent official survey was originally envisaged as a twofold exercise: Ci) to reconnoitre, locate and record as rapidly and accurately as possible Aboriginal parietal art sites in the Carnarvon Range and the Upper Maranoa river region as far west as the Chesterton Range Cii) to observe significant differences or similarities in technique, style, form and content of the parietal art in these two adjacent drainage systems, which rise in the same central highlands complex, but are physically separated by the Great Dividing Range. 2. The aims of the survey were: (i) to report on the physical condition, state of preservation of the art and evidence of vandalism at the sites located. Further, to recommend to the Advisory Committee those sites of sufficient importance to be protected under Section 13 of the Aboriginal Relics Act; (ii) to present that art as archaeological data of sufficient clarity to permit quantitative and qualitative analysis in order to facilitate interpretation; and to evaluate it as representative of a potential regional art "style" based in the southern central Queensland highland region.
