Boolcoomatta Reserve

The land was used as a sheep station for 150 years, running a flock as large as 90,000 sheep. There are also relics of some small-scale copper mining on the property. The land was purchased by BHA in 2006 with assistance from the Australian Government and Nature Foundation SA. ==Landscape and vegetation==
