This project establishes permanent native forests through assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources (including rootstock and lignotubers) on land that was cleared of vegetation and where regrowth was suppressed for at least 10 years prior to the project having commenced.
Kullilli Country is spectacular red earth land extending across south-west Queensland and featuring vast floodplains, channels fringed by Gidyea and Eucalypt woodlands and Mulga shrublands.
Following a Native Title Determination in 2014, the Kullilli Bulloo River Aboriginal Corporation (KBRAC) began conversations with carbon farming service provider Climate Friendly, which led to KBRAC becoming an Eligible Interest Holder for seven carbon farming projects in the region.
In late August 2023, KBRAC acquired the 47,100 hectare Thargomindah Station on the Bulloo River, with support from Climate Friendly, and a finance partnership with Conscious Investment Management (CIM). A carbon project has been registered on the property under the Human-Induced Regeneration of a Permanent Even Aged Native Forest – 1.1 method, with a permanence period of 25 years. Cassandra Stevens, Director of KBRAC, explains the unique opportunity presented by this project below:
“Thargomindah Station is significant as a place where many of our old people were removed, but it also holds one of our spiritual, and culturally significant sites, which is a burial sandhill. We’ve always strived to maintain the sandhill, never thinking that we would own the property. When the property came up for a quick sale, we scrambled to find support…The outcomes that our community will derive are immeasurable.”

North Burnett graziers Carly and Grant Burnham commenced a soil carbon project in 2016 in partnership with CarbonLink, covering over 5,275 hectares of their property.
Despite seasonal challenges of dry weather and fluctuating cattle prices, extensive testing and auditing of Bonnie Doone demonstrated the Burnhams’ adoption of new land management practices resulted in the equivalent of 126,222 tonnes of greenhouse gas emission being sequestered into their soils over the five-year reporting period.
In late 2023, the couple were awarded 94,666 Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) by the national Clean Energy Regulator – the largest allocation for an individual soil carbon farming project in Australia to date.
