Collier Range National Park is a national park in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, northeast of Perth. The nearest major town to the park is Newman located about north near Kumarina.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RAC Travel- National Park Camping Areas )〕 The park is one of many in the Pilbara and was established in 1978. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rundle Range National Park )〕 The ranges vary from low hills to high ridges with many cliffs. The vegetation found in the area is mostly spinifex and mulga with creeklines being surrounded by eucalypts. Mulga scrub and mulla mulla are found in dense scrubland in the northeastern plains with spinifex and sand dunes being found in the western end. The park is the home of the threatened Pilbara Pebble-Mound Mouse ''Pseudomys chapmani'' which is also found in the Millstream-Chichester National Park and the Karlamilyi National Park.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Department of Environment - Action Plan for Australian Rodents )〕 The mulga habitat is a refuge for the critical weight range mammals such as ''Macrotis lagotis'' (greater bilby), ''Dasycercus cristicauda'' (mulgara) and ''dasyurids''. The standard of management in the park is poor and is only visited occasionally by Department of Parks and Wildlife staff from Karratha. The park is baited for wild dogs but suffers damage from feral donkeys and wandering cattle. No fire management is in practice and weed problems are unknown.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gascoyne Subregion Biodiversity values )〕 ==See also== * Protected areas of Western Australia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Collier Range National Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
