Acknowledgements
I would like to thank all the staff from the four NRM regions that have assisted with
mapping and GIS support, and in particular Martin Wingett from South West NRM
Ltd.
The Department of Environment and Resource Management staff have been most
helpful, especially those based at Charleville, Longreach, and Roma, and the
WildNet team.
To the Stock Route Officers, and the myriad of others who provided local knowledge
and pointed me in the right direction, thank you.
Other assistance was received from: the Queensland Museum, the Queensland
Herbarium, Bush Heritage, the Department of Transport and Main Roads, the
Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation, and the Shire
Councils of Western Queensland.
