Grass Tree Conservation Park

The conservation park spans 16 hectares of land, featuring brown stringybark woodlands, pink gum forests, and South Australian blue gum vegetation.

The park was established on August 17, 1972, under the National Parks and Wildlife Act to protect a specific collection of grass trees.

The grass trees within the park hold traditional significance, as Aboriginal peoples used their stems for spears and extracted resin for tool construction.

Located 17 kilometers north of Naracoorte, the park is accessible via Boddingtons West Road and maintains boundary access tracks for visitors.

The grass trees in the park grow at a rate of 1 to 3 centimeters annually and can survive for up to 450 years.
