Land History
When the Pasqua 79 reserve was first set up, it was quite large. It measured about 60.2 square miles (155.9 square kilometers). Over time, some of this land was given up or taken by the government.
This means the reserve's size has been reduced. Today, it is nearly half its original size. It is now about 36 square miles (93 square kilometers).
