A small coastal reserve on the Limestone Coast protecting foredunes, samphire wetlands, and migratory shorebird habitat.

Butcher Gap Conservation Park

Butcher Gap Conservation Park is a small protected area on South Australia's Limestone Coast, overlooking Lacepede Bay a few kilometres south of Kingston SE. The reserve wraps a coastal foredune system around an interior wetland complex that includes Salt Lake and Butchers Lake, with the Butcher Gap Drain cutting through the park. The landscape is shaped by young coastal dunes, low swales, and saline margins that support samphire flats and stands of South Australian swamp paperbark. These habitat mosaics create resting and feeding conditions for migratory waders and other waterfowl, and the park has been recognized as suitable habitat for the critically imperilled orange-bellied parrot. Because of its compact size and ecological mix of dune scrub and saline wetland, the park functions as a focused refuge for coastal and migratory birdlife rather than a broad-scale wilderness reserve. Its combination of beach, dune, and samphire lagoon sitting immediately inland from Lacepede Bay gives it an unusually layered coastal identity within the South Australian reserves system.

Distance methodology

Geographic measurements, not driving distances

How nearby park distances are calculated

Distances use park boundaries whenever the available geometry allows it. When one or both boundaries are missing, the mapped park locations provide a clearly labelled estimate. Every value represents straight-line geographic separation and does not use roads or routing.

Boundary distance

Calculated between the nearest points of both park boundaries.

Location-to-boundary estimate

Estimated from one mapped park location to the nearest boundary of the other park.

Mapped-location estimate

Estimated between the mapped locations of both parks.
