QTFN Aroona Station Acoustic Data Collection - A2O Project

Created 02/04/2026

Updated 02/04/2026

This dataset contains audio files from Queensland Trust for Nature (QTFN) Aroona site. This site was established in 2025 by QTFN, QUT and TERN with co-investment by the Queensland Government Research Infrastructure Co-investment Fund (RICF)

QTFN’s Aroona Station is a 2,000-ha property in the significant wildlife corridor Little Liverpool Range on Yugara Country, 55 km south-west of Ipswich. A working cattle property for over 50 years with large areas of diverse native vegetation that supports varied and viable populations of conservation-significant wildlife, Aroona Station showcases how nature conservation, best practice land management and sustainable beef production can co-exist in harmony.

In 2020 four acoustic recorders were set up to collect audio data continuously as part of the Australian Acoustic Observatory (A2O) project. Two recorders were placed in relatively wet habitats and two in relatively dry habitats.
