Bascombe Well Conservation Park

This protected area spans across four cadastral units, situated west of Tod Highway and south of Birdseye Highway, encompassing diverse mallee communities.

The land operated for pastoral activities until 1967, when the Government of South Australia resumed control and established it as a national park in 1970.

The conservation park contains remnants of stone fences and building foundations that reflect the agricultural heritage of South Australian settlers in this region.

The park requires four-wheel drive vehicles for access, as internal tracks become difficult during wet conditions and no visitor facilities are present.

The grey-bellied dunnart discovery in this park marks a substantial extension of this mammal species' known range from Western Australia.
