17,000 hectares A place of dramatic contrasts, from the gently undulating north coast to the rugged bluffs of the south. Being just twenty kilometres south of Port Lincoln, the open country and quiet bays present ideal locations for camping or day trips. Bush walkers find the exposed coastline and granite-topped hills a challenge and the cliff-top walk near Wanna is particularly memorable but please take care. Parrots, emus and kangaroos inhabit the northern section, while osprey and sea eagles soar over the southern coast.
Cape Catastrophe and Memory Cove, where Matthew Flinders lost eight of his men in 1802, are both wilderness areas reached only by four wheel drive vehicles. While conventional vehicles can negotiate most of the park tracks, some are rough and can become impassable. Seek advice from the District Ranger at Port Lincoln: telephone (08) 8688 3177.
