Sinclair Island Conservation Park is a protected area associated with Sinclair Island which is located off the west coast of Eyre Peninsula in South Australia about 24 kilometres (15 mi)* south of Penong. The park which was declared as Fauna Conservation Reserve in March 1967, was re-proclaimed in 1972 under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 to ‘conserve island habitat and protect Australian sea lion haul-out areas.’[2][3]
