Holleton Important Bird Area
Holleton Important Bird Area is a tract of land in the eastern wheatbelt region of Western Australia about 290 km east of Perth.
The IBA is important for malleefowl conservation
Description

It has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA) because it contains habitat for the vulnerable malleefowl as well four bird species restricted to the mallee and south-western biome, the blue-breasted fairywren, rufous treecreeper, western yellow robin and purple-gaped honeyeater.[2]
