Description

[edit]

The conservation park has an area of 11.75 square kilometres (4.54 square miles). The southern sector has soils typical of the island'slateritic 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 tallshrubland ofEucalyptus baxteri overXanthorrhoea tateana,Melaleuca uncinata andAllocasuarina muelleriana, interspersed withE. cladocalyx woodland. The lower parts are characterised by an open forest ofE. cladocalyx andE. leucoxylon, with areas ofA. verticillata woodland near the coast.[4]

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