Bowra Sanctuary, Nature reserve in South West Queensland, Australia
The Bowra Sanctuary extends across 14,113 hectares of land, encompassing mulga communities, poplar box woodlands, and wetlands along the Warrego River plains.
In 2010, the Australian Wildlife Conservancy acquired this former cattle station, which had belonged to the McLaren family for five generations.
The sanctuary maintains extensive research programs focusing on arid zone bird species monitoring, contributing to scientific understanding of Australian wildlife populations.
Visitors can observe over 200 bird species through designated walking trails, including 14 parrot species and 18 diurnal raptors.
The reserve harbors rare creatures like the kultarr and contains suitable habitats for the woma python and the threatened Yakka skink.
