    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.
