Description

The conservation park has an area of Lua error in Module:Convert at line 272: attempt to index local 'cat' (a nil value).. 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.[3]

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 eaches are characterised by an open forest of E. cladocalyx and E. leucoxylon, with areas of A. verticillata woodland near the coast.[3]

The conservation park is classified as an IUCN IUCN Category Ia protected area.[2]
