Dudley Conservation Park is a protected area in South Australia on the Dudley Peninsula on Kangaroo Island. It was dedicated in 1970 to conserve Kangaroo Island Narrow-leaved Mallee.[3]

Description

The conservation park has an area of 1,768 hectares (4,370 acres).[2] It lies on the Dudley Peninsula on the eastern end of the island, about 10 km (6.2 mi)m south-east of American River and 12 km (7.5 mi) south-west of Penneshaw. The conservation park's vegetation is mostly an open scrub of Eucalyptus diversifolia and E. rugosa, with E. cneorifolia (the KI Narrow-leaved Mallee for which the park was dedicated) only occurring as an infrequent sub-dominant. There are limestone ridges and sandhill country in the south-eastern corner.[3] The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category Ia protected area.[1]
