Area: 597 km2 Map sheet: Alice Springs SF 53-14 Bioregion: Burt Plain (BRT) Tenure: Pastoral Lease - Bond Springs Station (66% of site), Hamilton Downs Station (15% of site) and Yambah Station (18% of site); Freehold - Mpweringe-Arnapipe (2) Aboriginal Land Trust (<1% of site) Description: The site includes a large area of red-earth plain with extensive stands of 'groved' Mulga (Acacia aneura) shrubland. The site is bounded to the west by an arbitrary line where botanical values are unknown as a consequence of bias in the available data. The site is otherwise bounded by the extent of Mulga shrubland. Notes: This site supports several plants which are uncommon, rare or poorly known in the study area.
