It is the only reserve in Australia established primarily for the conservation of Mitchell grassland communities. Situated north-east of the Barkly Homestead, on the eastern boundary of Brunette Downs Station, it covers an area of 256 square kilometres. A wide variety of birdlife can be found on the reserve. Native mammals found include the red kangaroo, carnivorous marsupials such as the long-tailed planigale, several native rodents and the dingo.
