Taylorville Station is a protected area located in the east of South Australia about 35 kilometres (22 miles) north west of the town of Renmark and about 250 kilometres (160 miles) east of the Adelaide city centre. It is a protected area which is under the control of the Australian government rather than the Government of South Australia and which is managed by a private organisation under contract. Taylorville Station is part of an area whose habitat has been listed as "critical" for the survival of the bird species, black-eared miner. It is also part of a larger reserve system known as the Riverland Biosphere Reserve.
Taylorville Station as a protected area is referred in various sources either as "Taylorville Station" or as a "reserve."
The reserve is located in the east of South Australia on the north side of the Murray River about 35 kilometres (22 miles) to the north-west of the town of Renmark and about 250 kilometres (160 miles) east of the Adelaide city centre. It is bounded to its eastern side by the Calperum Station reserve and to its north by the Gluepot Reserve. The reserve covers an area of 92.6 square kilometres (35.8 square miles) and is "entirely vegetated by Mallee vegetation communities."
The purpose of the reserve is the protection of "Listed Critical Habitat" for the bird species, black-eared miner, in conjunction with both the Calperum Station reserve and the Gluepot Reserve. The reserve along with the Calperum Station reserve is reported as being "important for the conservation of the nationally vulnerable malleefowl (Leipoa ocellata), the regionally vulnerable bush stone-curlew (Burhinus grallarius) and the nationally vulnerable southern bell frog (Litoria ramiformis)." The reserve is also reported as being one of the "key components of the Riverland (formerly Bookmark) Biosphere Reserve."
