Description

The conservation park has an area of 11.75 square kilometres (4.54 square miles). The southern sector has soils typical of the island's lateritic plateau, grading northwards into shallow grey-brown sands and rocky outcrops. The two main watercourses, Deep Gully and Gum Creek, cut deeply into the underlying rocks, forming gorges with semi-permanent waterholes along parts of their lengths. [4]

On the higher parts of the conservation park, the vegetation is mainly a tall shrubland of Eucalyptus baxteri over Xanthorrhoea tateana , Melaleuca uncinata and Allocasuarina muelleriana , interspersed with E. cladocalyx woodland. The lower parts are characterised by an open forest of E. cladocalyx and E. leucoxylon , with areas of A. verticillata woodland near the coast. [4]

The conservation park is classified as an IUCN IUCN Category Ia protected area. [1]
