Natural Outback
The bioregions of Queensland’s Outback support an innumerable array of wildlife, including unique or threatened species. The red sands of the Simpson Desert come alive as small nocturnal animals emerge from their daytime retreats to search for food in the cool night.
|
Native and migratory birds flock to the billabongs and wetlands of the Channel Country in the hope of ready food supplies and the riparian tracts that fringe the inland rivers and streams act as safe havens for thousands of water and land-based creatures. Queensland’s Outback is acknowledged worldwide for its many protected areas and offers visitors unrivalled experiences of its native environment. |
