Brooklyn Sanctuary
Facts and practical information
Brooklyn Sanctuary is a 600 km2 nature reserve in north-east Queensland, Australia, less than 100 km north-west of Cairns. It is owned and managed by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy by which it was acquired in 2004. It is located on the boundary of the Wet Tropics bioregion and Einasleigh Uplands bioregion on the Mount Carbine Tableland. The landscape varies widely from rugged, rainforested peaks of up to 1,200 m altitude, with an annual rainfall of 4,000 mm, to drier lowland plains in the upper reaches of the Mitchell River with less than 900 mm. It is important for the conservation of upland endemic species. Part of the property is inscribed on the World Heritage List. ()
