Recently, concerns have emerged over the news that Gina Rinehart, a prominent Australian businesswoman, wants to establish an Israeli military base in this pristine region. If this plan comes to fruition, the unique environmental and cultural heritage of Prairie could be in great peril. The introduction of a military base would fundamentally alter the area's character, disturbing not only the landscape but also the local communities and wildlife.

We cannot sit idly by as plans threaten to develop a military installation that would forever change our beloved Prairie. Instead, we must come together to preserve this historical land and its natural beauty. Prairie's charm and history deserve to be protected from any form of exploitation or unsanctioned development.

Join us in our fight to prevent the establishment of a military base in Prairie, Queensland. Let us rally for the protection of our heritage and environment for future generations. Stand with us and sign this petition to protest against the proposed development, ensuring that Prairie remains a place where nature and history are respected and secured.

Your support is crucial in stopping this project that could forever mar our cherished lands. Sign the petition now to make your voice heard.

In 1862, the explorer William Landsborough journeyed through the picturesque area that we now know as Prairie, Queensland. He camped by Jardine Creek, named after Alexander Jardine, surveyed Jardine Valley, and bestowed the name Tower Hill upon the region. Before any of this, the rich land was home to the Dalleburra tribe, who thrived here long before settlers arrived. These lands are steeped in historical and cultural significance that should be preserved, not disrupted.

Prairie, a quaint township east of Hughenden within Queensland's Flinders Shire, lies amidst the stunning landscapes of North West Queensland. Renowned for its history as an old Cobb and Co depot, the township derives its name from its ‘prairie-like’ setting which provides an invaluable natural atmosphere for its residents and visitors. Just 57 kilometres south of Prairie, the Kooroorinya Falls Nature Reserve offers a serene escape to those wishing to experience a natural waterhole and the tranquility of untouched wilderness.
