Yumbarra Conservation Park

The park is named after Yumbarra rock hole, one of many deep depressions weathered into the rocky outcrops that protrude from the landscape. After rain, these rock holes fill with water and provide an important water source for local wildlife.

The park has vast areas of rolling sand dunes and is an important conservation area for a number of rare and vanishing native species, including malleefowl and sand hill dunnarts. Kangaroos, southern hairy-nosed wombats and dingoes also inhabit the park. With rock holes creating wildlife congregation points and with uncrowded foliage, the park is an ideal birdwatching area.

In the north eastern corner of the park along Goog's Track, lies Goog's Lake, a popular tourist destination with clearly marked scenic camping grounds, monuments to Goog and Dinger Denton (who forged Goog’s Track) and a number of easy walking tracks.

Yellabinna Regional Reserve and Wilderness Protection Area

Expe­ri­ence the wilder­ness of sparse­ly veg­e­tat­ed red sand dunes that char­ac­terise Yellabin­na Region­al Reserve and Wilder­ness Pro­tec­tion Area.

The stark con­trast of red sand and blue sky is a pho­tog­ra­pher’s delight, while the park also offers var­i­ous tracks to explore by 4WD. Rare wildlife can also be found, includ­ing scar­let-chest­ed par­rots, major mitchell cock­a­toos, thorny dev­ils, sand hill dun­narts and malleefowl.

Mt Finke (137 km north of Ceduna) is a pre­dom­i­nant rocky out­crop, ris­ing abrupt­ly from the sur­round­ing open shrub­lands and offer­ing spec­tac­u­lar views (par­tic­u­lar­ly at sun­set) across the vast landscape.
