Piccaninny Plains lies in the heart of Cape York Peninsula, a region of global significance for conservation. Covering more than 170,000 hectares (420,000 acres), Piccaninny Plains is a property of stunning ecological diversity, decorated by a mosaic of rainforests, woodlands, wetlands and grasslands and protecting iconic species such as the Palm Cockatoo. Cape York has been connected to New Guinea for much of the last 250,000 years. The repeated interchange of flora and fauna has bequeathed a rich biological legacy on Cape York Peninsula. Piccaninny Plains captures a superb representation of this evolutionary blend.
