The Currimundi Lake (Kathleen McArthur) Conservation Park is a protected area that is located approximately 4 km (2.5 mi) north of Caloundra, Queensland, Australia.[1][2] The park's total area is 50 hectares (124 acres).[3] It was first declared as a conservation park in 1994,[1] and is named after Kathleen McArthur.[1][4][5] A large percentage of the park is wallum heath,[3] which in turn then supports a large and diverse number of fauna;[4] 353 species, 14 of which are introduced, 25 species are rare or threatened.[3] 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.[8]
