Bramwell Station

Bramwell Station is a Savanna Fire Management project located on the Cape York Peninsula, approximately 160km northeast of Weipa in Far North Queensland. It was registered in September 2014 and covers 131,814.84 ha.

Savanna fire management projects involve conducting strategic and planned burning of savanna areas during the early dry season. By reducing the fuel load early in the year when fires are cooler and easier to manage, the project mitigates the risk of larger, more destructive, and highly emissive wildfires breaking out in the late dry season.

The Cape York region surrounding the project area is traditionally known for cattle grazing, ecotourism, and conservation. The environment is classified as a high rainfall zone featuring tropical woodland plains, rainforest patches, and the region's famous deep red dirt and sandy soils.

Bramwell Station holds the title of Australia's northernmost cattle station and is an iconic tourist stop for four-wheel drivers heading to the tip of Cape York via the Old Telegraph Track. In 2021, the Queensland Government purchased the property for approximately $11.5 million, largely driven by its conservation value and its lucrative carbon credit cash flow, estimated at over $150,000 annually. The property is currently undergoing a transition to become a jointly managed national park and freehold land for First Nations peoples.
