Kyeema Conservation Park is located on the Fleurieu Peninsula and spans over 347 hectares.
Walking along the trails you will notice an overstorey of mainly messmate stringy bark (Eucalyptus obliqua), with some pink gum (E. fasciculosa) and cup gum (E. cosmophylla), partnered with a thick and diverse under storey.
The peace and tranquility walking through this densely vegetated area is rejuvenating and the combination provides habitat for animals such as the southern brown bandicoot, swamp rat and western grey kangaroo. With more than 80 species of birds being recorded in the park, including White's thrush, beautiful firetail and the chestnut-rumped heathwren, it is a haven for birdwatchers. Other species such as superb fairywren, striated thornbill, brown thornbill, white-browed scrubwren, crescent honeyeater, yellow-faced honeyeater and grey shrikethrush are also commonly seen.
Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
