Rangelands

Rangeland describes land that is expansive and that hasn’t experienced a large amount of change from European settlement.

Australia’s outback is mainly rangeland country – that’s 80 per cent of our landscape – while more than 90 per cent of the area within NQ Dry Tropics is rangeland that’s privately owned or leased for cattle grazing.

Managing weeds and pests

Most graziers, farmers or landholder would say they have a problem with weeds and pests. Managing them underpins many of the programs at NQ Dry Tropics.

Weeds and animal pests can outcompete native species and they lead to losses in production on agricultural land.
