Cravens Peak Reserve is a 233,000–hectare nature reserve in Central West Queensland, Australia, 135 km south-west of Boulia and 471 km south of Mount Isa. It lies at the northern end of the Simpson Desert and includes parts of the Simpson-Strezlecki Dunefields and Channel Country bioregions. Its western boundary borders the Northern Territory. It is owned and managed by Bush Heritage Australia (BHA) which purchased it in 2005 following a generous bequest by Gay Bell. A reason for acquisition of the property was the need to help conserve the Mulligan River catchment.

“I do not know what right I have to so much happiness, but rather hold it in reserve till the time of my desert.”
