Bangham Conservation Park

Bangham Conservation Park is a protected area in the Australian state of South Australia located in the state's Limestone Coast in the gazetted locality of Bangham about 45 kilometres (28 mi) north-east of the town centre in Naracoorte. In the mid-1930s Professor Cleland called on the South Australian government to declare the Bangham forest a nature reserve, as an example of fast-disappearing southern Murray woodland, and home of South Australia's last indigenous koalas. The conservation park occupies land in section 4 and Allotment 1 of Deposited Plan 78796 in the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Geegeela which is bounded by the Bordertown-Frances Road on its western side, a road on its southern side and the Bordertown – Naracoorte railway line on its eastern side. As of 1992, access tracks had been constructed along the northern and eastern boundaries of section 4 while an easement for an electricity transmission line passed through the western side of the conservation park. The land originally gained protected area status in 1973, when section 4 was gazetted as the Bangham Conservation Park. In 2010, additional land consisting of Allotment 1 of Deposited Plan 78796 was added to the north side of the conservation park. The land was offered in 1971 to the government of South Australia for conservation purposes. At the time, it consisted of 6.76 square kilometres (2.61 sq mi)
