Weeding blitz at Carnarvon
 

Carnarvon Station Reserve in central Queensland is a remarkable place. There are few areas where you can breakfast with a mob of red-necked wallabies, lunch beneath a prehistoric forest of cycads and enjoy a ‘sundowner’ at the ‘edge of the world’, gazing over the range, as you can at Carnarvon.

But, as is the case with any property with a pastoral history, there are environmental issues to deal with. During this summer there will be a blitz on two invasive weeds: buffel grass and Johnson grass.

Supporters of Bush Heritage, friends of Carnarvon and lovers of the Australian environment, we are looking for volunteer rangers to help with the weeding program from November to January. Flexibility will be the key, as work is dependent on the timing of spring rains and the subsequent growth of the targeted weeds.

If you have two weeks or more to spare, then come and discover Carnarvon while working on weed eradication. You will have time to explore and, if you are lucky, you can even dine with the stars – literally!
