About Hambidge
Comprising over 25,000 hectares of mallee country on the Eyre Peninsula, this wilderness area protects one of the state's largest remnant mallee ecosystems. Proclaimed in 2004, the area features parallel sand dunes with clay pans scattered throughout. Endangered malleefowl and vulnerable bird species including blue-breasted wrens and yellow-tailed pardalotes inhabit the mallee scrub. Prominent Hill rises 143 metres above the surrounding landscape, offering vantage points across the wilderness.
