Talisker Conservation Park, Conservation park on Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia.
The 211-hectare protected area contains dense scrub vegetation, steep walking paths, and remnants of a nineteenth-century silver and lead mine.
Two McLeod brothers discovered silver-lead ore in 1862 and named the site after their homeland location in the Isle of Skye.
The conservation park maintains critical populations of the Hindmarsh Valley Greenhood orchid, protected under national environmental legislation.
The Department for Environment and Water in South Australia manages the park, which receives approximately 30,000 visitors annually through Cape Jervis access.
The site operated as a mining area for 104 years before its designation as a conservation park in 1976.
