Enhancing Biodiversity Hotspots Along Western Queensland Stock ...

CURRENT MANAGEMENT: None, although there is a tourist information site
maintained by the Diamantine Shire Council.
RECOMMENDATIONS: It is recommended to implement control actions for feral
cats and foxes at this site, which would benefit the priority species. Any pest control
should be in coordination with Diamantina Shire Council and adjacent landholders.
In an environment where trees are sparse, the waddy tree is an important breeding
and feeding habitat for bird species, as well as a rare species itself. It is
recommended that there are discussions between the adjoining landholder,
Diamantina Shire Council and DCQ with a view to manage this unique habitat. It
would also be beneficial if the existing interpretive information for tourists be
expanded to make it more comprehensive and inclusive of biodiversity.
