Eric Bonython Conservation Park is a protected area located in South Australia about 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) south of the town of the Yankalilla. The conservation park was proclaimed under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 in 1972 in respect to an area of land already under statutory protection as the "Eric Bonython National Park." As of 2011, it was described as being "a fine, but small, example of the pre-European settlement vegetation that once covered this area." The conservation park contains a dominant forest of Messmate Stringybark with an understorey including "tall shrubs and mid ferns" as well as the nationally endangered perennial herb, Osborn's Eyebright. The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category Ia protected area.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]
