Research

Every couple of years the Society organizes a scientific study to a significant, but difficult to access, part of Queensland. Researchers from a wide range of institutions participate in these multi-disciplinary projects. In recent years studies have been undertaken to: 2007, Cravens Peak, south-west Queensland 2002, Sweers Island and Pennefather River, in the Gulf of Carpentaria 2000, White Mountains National Park, near Hughenden 1997, North East Herald Cay, Coral Sea Islands Territory 1995, Musselbrook Reserve, Lawn Hill National Park 1992, Heathlands, Cape York Peninsula (in the wet season) Our Society is proud of its ability to help scientists access these isolated areas and also to facilitate a valuable, cross-disciplinary exchange of information. Comprehensive reports are published and made available to State and Commonwealth departments where they contribute to conservation management planning.
