Vivonne Bay Conservation Park is a protected area in the Australian state of South Australia located on the south coast of Kangaroo Island in the gazetted locality of Vivonne Bay.[2] It was dedicated in 1971 to conserve coastal country containing vegetation not already protected in Kelly Hill Conservation Park.[3]

Description

The conservation park has an area of 1,565 hectares (3,870 acres), stretching from Point Ellen, at the western end of Vivonne Bay, south-westwards along the coast for about 5 km (3.1 mi), extending inland for 3 km (1.9 mi). The vegetation is mainly open scrub and open heath dominated by Eucalyptus diversifolia and E. rugosa, with low Calocephalus brownii shrubland on the coastal dunes and cliffs.[3] The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category Ia protected area.[4]
