Lincoln National Park, Nature reserve on Jussieu Peninsula, South Australia.
Lincoln National Park spans about 31,500 hectares of mallee eucalypts, coastal heath, and drooping sheoak woodlands along the Thorny Passage Marine Park coastline. The land shows diverse vegetation types and landscape features that shift as you move between different sections of the reserve.
The area was used for farming in the mid-1800s before it became a Flora and Fauna Reserve in 1941. It gained national park status in 1972, marking a shift toward protection and preservation.
The Barngarla and Nauo peoples left evidence of their long connection to this coastal region through fish traps and shell middens that remain visible today. Walking through the park, visitors can observe these traces that show how people once lived off these waters and lands.
The park has 19 walking trails of varying difficulty and multiple campgrounds with different facilities. Come prepared for changing weather and wear sturdy shoes, especially for the coastal paths.
Southern right whales pass by Sleaford Bay between May and October on their journey to warmer waters for breeding. This seasonal arrival makes the region a favored spot for whale watching.
