Conservation group Bush Heritage Australia has purchased Edgbaston in central Queensland, a viable cattle station with some of the rarest ecology on earth.
Allocating between $3.5 million and $4 million to set up and buy the 8100-hectare property, Bush Heritage Australia chief executive Doug Humann said the purchase was about "building resilience" in the bush.
"We have such unique biodiversity in Australia that we have to protect the best of what is left and it makes much more sense to do the protection rather than the restoration," he said.
