I think it excellent that AWC intends to buy Bowra but my question is -
" If the AWC needs donated funds to buy it, after the initial purchase
who is going to manage and pay for Bowra's maintenance into the future
?"

My Australian Geographic magazine arrived yesterday with a flyer from
Australian Wildlife Conservancy advising of their plan to purchase Bowra
Station, which is situated "on the Warrego River plains in the heart of
the Mulga Lands in Southern Queensland".
The Federal Government will provide a grant, however a further $1m is
required to secure the property. A generous supporter has agreed to
match all (tax deductible) donations, ie $0.5m needs to be raised from
public donations to secure the property. This will ensure its
preservation as a designated area for the protection of a number of
endangered species and as a special destination for birdwatchers. I
have visited Bowra twice in recent years and can attest to its deserved
reputation as a national birding hotspot.
Information on the property can be obtained by googling Bowra Station,
Queensland. A donation form can be downloaded from AWC's website,
www.australianwildlife.org. This has a comments section where,
presumably, the donation can be dedicated to Bowra Station.
