The Charcoal Tank Nature Reserve is a protected nature reserve located in the central western region of New South Wales, Australia. The reserve is situated south of West Wyalong and may be accessed via the Newell Highway and The Charcoal Tank Road. The reserve is an important refuge for native flora and fauna in a highly fragmented landscape, one in which the majority of the original vegetation has been removed.〔〔 ==Description==
The land surrounding the reserve has been extensively altered through agricultural practice and the development of roads. As a remnant in a highly modified landscape, the reserve’s vegetation is significant to the region as it includes critically endangered mallee and mallee–broombush in the absence on ''Triodia'' (Spinefex); in total there are only three protected areas within New South Wales containing this now rare vegetative structure.〔 The International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s category for the Reserve is Ia, a protected area that is dedicated to conserving biodiversity and minimising disturbances by limiting human access.〔(【引用サイトリンク】year=2014 )〕 The reserve is relatively flat with a dry, red, loamy clay top soil; three man-made dams are situated along a drainage line that runs the length of the reserve.〔 The traditional landowners of the region are the Wiradjuri people, inhabiting the region for over 40,000 years prior to European settlement in the area. Little is known about the Wiradjuri people’s use of the Reserve except that it was likely a place for gathering food.〔 After European settlement but prior to its listing as a Nature Reserve the site was used as camp on the traveling stock route and as a public watering place. In 1960 it became NSW Wildlife Refuge No. 2 but was still available for use as a watering ground and camp. The area officially became The Charcoal Tank Nature Reserve in 1966; prior to its change in status a rest stop was cut into a portion of the reserve along the Newell Highway and remains there today.〔
