Edgbaston

Located in Central Queensland, 140 km north-east of Longreach, Edgbaston Station is a pastoral lease of 8100 hectares.  The property’s grasslands, woodlands and wetlands also provide habitat for a range of migratory and other birds.

Situated in the upper catchment of the Pelican Creek which flows into the Thompson River and Lake Eyre, Edgbaston’s network of more than 50 artesian springs is home to an extraordinary diversity of life forms found nowhere else on the planet. The entire global population of the nationally threatened fish, the Redfin blue-eye, resides in just five spring-fed pools at Edgbaston.

Spanning the Mitchell Grass Plains and the Desert Uplands, the property protects 27 regional ecosystems, two of which are listed as endangered and six as ‘of concern’.

The property falls within the Bush Heritage anchor region, The Queensland Uplands and Brigalow Belt.
