Description

This vast estate of more than 2,500 hectares was created from land purchased by council's Ipswich Enviroplan initiative. It now protects a great diversity of flora and flora species including rare and threatened species.

This Conservation Estate remains sacred to the Traditional Owners of Ipswich. Some of the Cultural Landscapes within this estate include White Rock, the caves and outcrop overhangs. These sacred sites are very important to the Traditional Owners as they provide a link between Country and personal identity and allow the passing on of cultural knowledge. Nugum/Boogun (White Rock) is a sacred site known culturally as a Women’s area. Climbing White Rock and the adjacent southern ridge is prohibited. It is registered cultural heritage and protected under the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (Qld).
