Here the once
thought to be extinct, Night Parrot has been sighted.
Newhaven Station,
which is over 360 km north west of Alice
Springs, comprises 262,000 hectares of Australia’s heartland.
The Station is a
rich wilderness of grasslands, woodlands, rocky ranges, wetlands
and salt-pans, providing habitat for 34
species of threatened plants and animals,
including the Marsupial Mole and Black Footed
Rock Wallaby.
Birds Australia
bought the station to conserve its rich biodiversity, and especially bird
fauna. The property is managed in consultation with Aboriginal custodians,
due to its traditional cultural significance. Project activities will
include the provision of facilities for naturalists and tourists,
ecological restoration and flora/fauna surveys.
