Cover title. This book is dedicated to the selfless conservationists, who in 1960, successfully opposed the subdivision of the Little Desert.
The Little Desert Nature Lodge was founded in 1970 and recently acquired by Conservation Volunteers Australia (2016). Located halfway between Adelaide and Melbourne, the Little Desert Lodge is situated on the edge of the pristine Little Desert National Park. It is 16km South of Nhill just off the Western Highway and approximately an hours drive from Horsham.

The Little Desert National Park stretches all the way from the Wimmera River at Dimboola to the South Australian Border and consists of 117 hectares of natural bushland.
