Ngarkat Conservation Park

A large park covering around 270,000 hectares of mallee and heathland over remnant coastal dunes. Between the dunes, surface soaks often occur which allow brown stringybark and square fruited mallee to grow.

Animals found in the park include Echidnas, Pygmy Possums, Dunnarts and Grey Kangaroos, with more than twenty species of lizards and hundreds of birds. There are a number of recreational options from day trips and picnics to more extensive trips through the park, staying at one of the many campgrounds.

There is two wheel drive access to Pertendi Hut along the Pinnaroo Bordertown Road, and dry weather two wheel drive access to Pine Hut Soak. The network of four wheel drive tracks throughout the park is well signposted.

There are also numerous walking trails within the park, which range from short minute walks to five hour hikes. The park is best visited in the cooler months as summer temperatures are often very high. The park is very large and isolated, therefore sufficient fuel and water supplies must be carried at all times.
