Australian Minister for the Environment and Heritage today announced government support of $1.6 million to help buy Boolcoomatta Station, a 63,000 hectare pastoral property in the far north-east of South Australia near Broken Hill.  

This arid outback sheep station with vast saltbush and native grassland plains, wetlands and rugged rocky outcrops will be managed by Bush Heritage under Australia’s National Reserve System.
