Witchelina, Nature reserve and pastoral lease in South Australia
The reserve extends across 421,000 hectares of desert landscape, containing gibber plains, red river gum woodlands, bluebush shrubland, saltbush plains, and acacia dunefields.
John Ragless established Witchelina as a sheep station in 1873, and Sidney Kidman later acquired the property in 1916 through a partnership with Lewis and Pearce.
The land spans territories of two First Nations groups, with the Kuyani Adnyamathanha People Nation and Arabana People Nation recognized as Traditional Owners.
The Nature Foundation maintains designated camping areas and nature drives for visitors, while conducting scientific research programs to support conservation efforts.
The reserve spans three distinct bioregions - Flinders Lofty Block, Stony Plains, and Gawler - providing habitat for the Thick-billed Grasswren and Plains Mouse.
