[2][5]: 1 The conservation park occupies land in sections 22 and 25 of the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Geegeela which is located to the west of the Bordertown-Frances Road.

During the 1960, an area of about 200 hectares (490 acres) in the conservation park's south-western corner was cleared and established as a pasture of native grasses which was grazed “for a number of years.” About 1970, cultivation of an area of about 70 hectares (170 acres) was attempted “reputedly with limited success.” Agricultural activity ceased with the cleared land being allowed to regenerate.

The land subsequently acquired status in 1986 as a “private Heritage Agreement area” under then Native Vegetation Management Act 1985.

[5]: 1 [6] In 2005, vegetation within the conservation park was observed as consisting principally of desert banksia heath, Blue Gum/Pink Gum open woodlands, and open woodlands and wetlands of Brown Stringybark with ‘’small patches of woodland dominated by’’ rough-barked manna gum, river red gum and buloke.

[5]: 18 The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category III protected area.
