About Brookfield Conservation Park
Brookfield Conservation Park is a 5,515-hectare protected area in the Murray Mallee region of South Australia, about 140 kilometres northeast of Adelaide near Blanchetown in the Mid Murray Council area. Proclaimed to conserve mallee woodland and habitat for the southern hairy-nosed wombat, it features open mallee, shrublands and wombat warrens. The park is valued for wildlife research, birdwatching and low-impact camping in a semi-arid landscape.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a semi-arid mallee landscape with open woodlands, shrublands, and extensive southern hairy-nosed wombat warrens. The park offers unsealed tracks, walking trails, bird hides and a basic campground set in natural bushland. Facilities are minimal and the environment is remote and quiet, suited to nature observation, birdwatching, photography and self-sufficient camping. No shops or drinking water are available within the park.
