Mount Boothby Conservation Park

Mount Boothby Conservation Park, formerly the Mount Boothby National Park, is a protected area in the Australian state of South Australia located in the locality of Field about 147 kilometres (91 mi) south-east of the state capital of Adelaide and about 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) west of the Culburra town centre on the Dukes Highway.

[6] The conservation park was named after its predecessor and ultimately after Mount Boothby, a hill located within its boundaries and with a height of 129 metres (423 ft).

The dominant plant association on the range is Eucalyptus diversifolia / E. incrassata / E. foecunda open scrub with a sparse to mid-dense heath understorey.

Open heath occupies the sand flat and small trees of E leucoxylon surround the granite outcrops.

Leipoa ocellata (mallee fowl) which is a threatened bird in SA… and the attractive Pseudomys apodemoides (ash-grey mouse) are seldom seen residents.
