Hi Peter,
Good summary of the Bowra situation on birding-aus; I had a a
wealthy American client a couple of years ago who was very impressed
with the place and actually got a group together to fund the purchase,
hoping to give it to one of the well-known conservation bodies. The
stumbling block proved to be the apparent need for hundreds of
thousands of $ as management each year.
This was a great shame as I too would love to see the place kept as
is, and aided in recovering from stocking. I fear new owners taking it
over, giving birders the flick then running intensive stocking and
clearance. I thought the price was very reasonable too, it seems such
shame we may lose this gem over what is a relatively paltry sum in
business terms.
