About Yumbarra Conservation Park
Yumbarra Conservation Park is a large protected area in far west South Australia, about 55 km north of Ceduna. Covering over 3,200 sq km of dunes, mallee scrub and granite outcrops, it forms part of the Yellabinna mallee wilderness. Established in 1999, it conserves habitat for malleefowl, sandhill dunnart and southern hairy-nosed wombat and is traversed by the remote Googs Track for 4WD visitors.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a remote, arid wilderness of parallel sand dunes, mallee woodland, and granite outcrops. The park is largely undeveloped and accessed only by high-clearance 4WD via the Googs Track which runs north-south through the park. There are basic designated camping areas such as Googs Lake with little to no facilities. Wildlife viewing, birdwatching, photography and nature appreciation are the main experiences. No water, fuel or shops are available inside the park.
