Keep River Important Bird Area
The Keep River Important Bird Area is a tract of land on the upper Keep River straddling the border between Western Australia and the Northern Territory. It lies at an altitude of to and is about south-west of Darwin and east of Kununurra.
==Description==
The site is defined by the presence of habitat known to support Gouldian finches. Most of it consists of land within the Keep River National Park and the Newry Station pastoral lease in the Northern Territory, but it also includes some pastoral land in Western Australia. The area is dominated by grassland and by open savanna woodland containing an understorey of native grasses on sandstone. The climate is highly monsoonal, with an average annual rainfall of 873 mm (recorded at Newry Station) falling mainly from December to March. The ranges are drained by a network of ephemeral creeks, with the larger watercourses retaining pools of water through the dry season. As well as the presence of persistent waterholes for drinking, key features of suitable Gouldian finch habitat result from the area’s history of low grazing pressure and few widespread hot bushfires, so allowing grasses to seed for the finches to feed on, and providing hollow-bearing trees for them to nest in.〔BirdLife International.
