Kings Plains, South Endeavour and Alkoomie Stations

Kings Plains, South Endeavour and Alkoomie Stations is a Savanna Fire Management project located approximately 20 to 50 kilometers southwest of Cooktown on the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland. The project was registered in February 2016 and covers a massive expanse of 92,750 hectares. The land is owned and managed by the South Endeavour Trust, a private conservation land trust that acquired the properties, formerly cattle stations, to manage them primarily for biodiversity conservation, though some sustainable grazing has historically occurred on the improved pastures.

The project operates under the Savanna Fire Management methodology, which involves conducting strategic "cool burns" during the early dry season (typically January to July). These planned, low-intensity fires reduce the fuel load in the landscape, creating firebreaks that prevent uncontrollable, high-intensity wildfires during the late dry season. By mitigating these hot fires, the project avoids significant emissions of methane and nitrous oxide.

The region falls within the high rainfall zone of the Cape York Peninsula, typically receiving over 1,000mm of rain annually, which supports a diverse mix of tropical savannas, eucalypt woodlands, and rainforest patches. The environmental profile of the area is unique; Alkoomie Station features the most northerly limestone caves in Queensland (Melody Rocks) with specialized soils, while Kings Plains is known for its "river capture" geological features and the vast permanent wetland of Kings Plains Lake. These diverse habitats support threatened species such as the Ghost Bat and the Australian Swiftlet.
