My next activation for ANZAC Day 25th April 2024, was the Rudall Conservation Park VKFF-1091. The park is located on the Eyre Peninsula, about 23 km (by road) northwest of Cleve.

On the way to the park, I stopped at the Goyders Line Monument and the Wheat Crop monument.



In 1865 Surveyor General George Woodroofe Goyder, marked on a map of South Australia, a line delineating drought-affected country. The line which passes through this area became an important factor in settlement in the state of South Australia. The line was regarded as an indication of the limits of lands considered safe for agricultural development.

The wheat crop monument commemorates the first wheat crop grown on Section 65 Hundred Yadnarie by E. Bradley in 1879.
The park is located at the southeastern corner of the intersection of Old Darke Peake Roaad and Syvertsen Road.

The park is about 882 acres in size and was proclaimed on the 16th day of August 1973.
