Gully erosion is a significant challenge in grazing lands across northern Queensland, particularly in areas with highly erodible soils. These gullies can drastically reduce the productivity of grazing land, reduce water quality for downstream environments, and require ongoing costly interventions if left unmanaged. This project focuses on addressing this issue by trialling practical, cost-effective remediation techniques on Spyglass Research Station. We applied two levels of treatment; high-intensity works with major earthworks, engineered erosion-control structures, and extensive soil amendments across the treatment areas; and medium-intensity works using smaller scale earthworks targeting smaller gullies in line with typical grazing-enterprise capacity.
