Currimundi Lake (Kathleen McArthur) Conservation Park is a protected area that is located in Wurtulla, north of Currimundi, approximately north of Caloundra, Queensland, Australia.[1] [2]
The park is named after Kathleen McArthur, a local artist, conservationist and founding member of the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland in 1962.[3]
The park's total area is 50 hectares (124 acres).[4] It was first declared as a conservation park in 1994. A large percentage of the park is wallum heath, which in turn then supports a large and diverse number of fauna;[5] 353 species, 14 of which are introduced, 25 species are rare or threatened. A vast array of wildflowers may be seen in the park at any time of the year, but are most abundant in late winter to early spring.[6] A local volunteer group currently visits the park every month to engage in activities such as removing of weeds and revegetating.[7] The park has two well-mapped walking tracks with information signs.[8] Picnic facilities are provided in the Crummunda Park; facilities include picnic tables, barbecues and toilets.
The altitude of the terrain is 2 meters.[9]
