View this post on Instagram In exciting news, Narriearra station will be added to the NSW national park estate - the largest acquisition in NPWS history. Spanning 154,000 hectares, Narriearra features habitats not protected by any other national park and nationally significant wetlands fed by the iconic Bulloo River. Located in north west NSW, it is home to more than 25 threatened species including the Grey Falcon and Kultarr and is the last stronghold in NSW for the nationally endangered Grey Grasswren.
