Spring Gully Conservation Park

Spring Gully Conservation Park is an oasis of Australian flora and fauna located in Sevenhills and Spring Gully, 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) south of the town centre in Clare. Covering an area of 3.96 square kilometres (1.53 sq mi), it is situated on a western ridge of the northern Mount Lofty Ranges, approximately 15km south of Clare.

The park is made up of land in sections 142, 365, 568, and 572 in the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Clare.

Section 568 of the conservation park was proclaimed on 12 January 1961 as a wildlife reserve under the Crown Lands Act 1929. On 9 November 1967, land in sections 568 and 572 was proclaimed under the National Parks Act 1966 as the Spring Gully National Park. Section 365 was added to the national park on 21 March 1968. On 27 April 1972, land in sections 365, 568, and 572 was proclaimed as the Spring Gully Conservation Park. Section 142 was added to the conservation park on 9 September 1976.

The park preserves the only stand of red stringybark (Eucalyptus macrorhyncha) in South Australia, a relic population left behind from a wetter time. The flora of the conservation park includes Caladenia argocalla (white beauty spider orchid), which is listed both nationally and at state level as "endangered". Approximately a quarter of the park is cleared land. The blackboys (Xanthorrhoea sp.) occur in the more open areas.

The conservation park has an open forest association dominated
