Mount Zero-Taravale Sanctuary is a 600 km2 nature reserve in north-east Queensland, Australia, 60 km north-west of Townsville.
The property varies in altitude from 350 m in the south-west to 1,050 m in the north-east, and in landform from rugged mountains to a broad alluvial valley.
Mount Zero and Taravale were separate pastoral leases primarily managed for cattle grazing for over 50 years.
Mount Zero was acquired by AWC in 2002, and Taravale in 2003, with assistance from the Natural Heritage Trust.
As well as cattle grazing, some small-scale tin-mining and selective logging has taken place on the property before acquisition by AWC.
