Cravens Peak Reserve : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cravens Peak Reserve Cravens Peak Reserve is a 233,000–hectare nature reserve in Central West Queensland, Australia, 135 km south-west of Boulia and 471 km south of Mount Isa. It lies at the northern end of the Simpson Desert and includes parts of the Simpson-Strezlecki Dunefields and Channel Country bioregions. Its western boundary borders the Northern Territory. It is owned and managed by Bush Heritage Australia (BHA) which purchased it in 2005 following a generous bequest by Gay Bell.〔(BHA: Leave A Bequest )〕 A reason for acquisition of the property was the need to help conserve the Mulligan River catchment. ==History== Cravens Peak contains fish fossils from the Devonian period. The traditional owners of Cravens Peak are the Pitta Pitta and Wongkamala people. The area was at the heart of the trade route for the drug pituri. It later became a pastoral lease that was operated as a beef cattle station until acquisition by BHA.〔(BHA: Cravens Peak Reserve )〕
