Travelling stock routes also provide crucial habitat and connectivity for many endangered species and ecosystems.
Before the railways were extended cattle were often driven up to 3,220 km on the main stock routes.
The area was inundated with 12in mm of rain in 1909, enough to get all the rivers running and reopen closed stock routes.
A number of stock routes still exist, and are regularly used in the park.
Other measures provide for the limitation of the grazing of goats and the demarcation and draining of stock routes.
Protection has also decreased threatening processes that may have otherwise increased as a result of the site being used as a camp along the travelling stock route.
But the days of the travelling stock route are not past.
I agreed, and rode down the stock route and turned down the road leading to the sanitary depot.
