AWC is currently working hard to establish safe and effective visitation at Bowra Sanctuary. We will be closed to visitors until May 2021 pending further consideration of management activities.
Bowra Wildlife Sanctuary has a long reputation as a reliable birding site with a bird list of more than 200 species, including nine threatened species. Three species of Australian Babblers are present and the rare Grey Falcon has been known to breed on the sanctuary.
A number of bird monitoring programs are in place at Bowra and all visitors are encouraged to assist. The main program is a Daily Bird Call which records the species seen each day and fixed route survey forms are available for those who wish to assist in bird monitoring. Bird lists and maps are supplied for all visitors. Our volunteers and other visitors are also a wonderful source of bird information.
Camping is in open areas adjacent to the buildings and around a nearby lagoon. There are facilities for a few caravans or camper trailers to access 240 volt power. This power is quite limited and not suitable for air conditioning, heating, cooking or other power-hungry uses. Campers use the same showers and toilets as those staying in the Quarters. The water supply is from the Great Artesian Basin and safe to drink.
Open fires of any type are not permitted.
2021 rates will be available soon.

Bowra is in south-west Queensland about 16 kilometres north-west of Cunnamulla.
Directions from Cunnamulla:
All roads on the property are dirt and can be dusty in dry conditions and very muddy and at times impassable when wet. When it is wet all vehicles are banned from the roads to prevent damage. 4WD vehicles have no difficulties getting about in dry times and most roads are accessible to normal vehicles, although a few spots may cause a problem. Take advice from the volunteers on site.
