[1][5] The conservation park consists of land in sections 142, 365, 568 and 572 in the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Clare.

Fine views over the plains to the west can be seen from this park which is used by locals as a picnic area… Spring Gully is situated on a western ridge of the northern Mount Lofty Ranges, approximately 15km south of Clare.

[11][12] Thousands of the red stringybark trees died following the very dry period from mid-2007 to early 2008 and the record heat-wave of March 2008.

An apparently small section of the conservation park (20ha) was burned in a lightning-ignited bushfire on 20 November 2009, further stressing some of the trees.

[citation needed] A portion of the Riesling Trail known as the Spring Gully Loop passes along the northern side of the conservation park.
