Dudley Conservation Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dudley Conservation Park is a nature reserve on Kangaroo Island, South Australia. It was dedicated in 1970 to conserve Kangaroo Island Narrow-leaved Mallee.^[1]

Description

The park has an area of 1102 ha. It lies towards the eastern end of the island, about 10 km south-east of American River and 12 km south-west of Penneshaw. The park’s vegetation is mostly an open scrub of Eucalyptus diversifolia and E. rugosa, with E. cneorifolia (the KI Narrow-leaved Mallee for which the park was dedicated) only occurring as an infrequent sub-dominant. There are limestone ridges and sandhill country in the south-eastern corner.^[1]
