Kathai Conservation Park
Kathai Conservation Park is a protected area in the Australian state of South Australia located on the Eyre Peninsula in the gazetted locality of Duck Ponds about 5 kilometres (3.1 miles) south-west of Port Lincoln.[2]
The conservation park is located on crown land in section 328 in the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Lincoln and which includes “a large hill” of a height of 145 metres (476 feet) above sea level called “Northside Hill.”[2][4] It was constituted under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 on 7 November 1985 to “protect and conserve habitat and wildlife within the Uley catchment basin.” [2][5] It was proposed to be named as the Northside Hill Conservation Park but ‘Kathai’, the aboriginal name for the hill, was approved by the Geographic Names Board.[4] As of July 2016, the conservation park covered an area of 81 hectares (200 acres).[3]
The conservation park is dominated by an “open mallee forest” of coastal white mallee over an understorey consisting of tall shrubs of dryland tea-tree. The purple-flowered mallee which is considered to be “regionally rare“ is found within its boundaries.[2]
The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category III protected area.[1]
