Carribie Conservation Park is a protected area located in the Yorke Peninsula of South Australia about 32 kilometres (20 miles) west of Warooka. The conservation park which held protected area status under previous legislation was re-proclaimed under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 in 1972 to conserve ‘a small area of remnant sheoak/mallee vegetation.’ The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category III protected area.[2][3][4]
