Calperum Station, Protected area near Renmark, South Australia
Calperum Station extends across 2,386 square kilometers of land, featuring woodlands, wetlands, grasslands, and red-brown dunes along the Murray River floodplain.
The land was initially named Ral Ral after an Aboriginal king, with European drovers establishing camps in the 1830s before pastoral leases began in 1851.
Archaeological discoveries at the site include perforated shells dating back 6,000 years, indicating centuries of Aboriginal resource utilization in the region.
The station functions as a research facility where scientists monitor ecosystems, conduct land restoration projects, and study the behaviors of native wildlife species.
The reserve contains critical habitat for the black-eared miner bird and forms part of the internationally recognized Riverland Ramsar wetland system.
