Lincoln Conservation Park VKFF-1050

Posted on by

My next park for Tuesday 23rd April 2024 was the Lincoln Conservation Park VKFF-1050. The park is located at the bottom of the Eyre Peninsula and is about 672 km (by road) from the city of Adelaide.

The Lincoln Conservation Park is about 255 acres in size. It is divided into three sections, with the park being split by Tramline Track. (Wikipedia 2024)

The park was formerly known as the Lincoln Conservation Reserve. It was proclaimed as the Lincoln Conservation Park on the 7th day of December 2006. The park consists of mallee vegetation, with Coastal White Mallee being the dominant species. The regionally rare Purple flowered Mallee can be found in the park. (Wikipedia 2024)

The park takes its name from the town of Port Lincoln. Explorer Captain Matthew Flinders sailed his vessel HMS Investigator into the harbour at Port Lincoln in February 1802, which he named after the city of Lincoln in Lincolnshire England. (WIkipedia 2024)
