Lincoln National Park

Lincoln National Park spans 31,500 hectares of mallee eucalypts, coastal heath, and drooping sheoak woodlands along the Thorny Passage Marine Park coastline.

The area transformed from farming land in the mid-1800s to a Flora and Fauna Reserve in 1941, receiving national park status in 1972.

The Barngarla and Nauo peoples maintained a presence in this region for generations, leaving evidence through fish traps and shell middens.

The park features 19 designated walking trails, multiple campgrounds with varied facilities, and requires entry fees for vehicles and overnight accommodations.

Southern right whales migrate past Sleaford Bay between May and October, making their journey to warmer waters for calving.
