Unpowered.Lit­tle Dip Con­ser­va­tion Park, just south of the town­ship of Robe, fea­tures a rugged­ly beau­ti­ful coast­line and con­serves a num­ber of small lakes. The lakes vary in their ecol­o­gy – from the shal­low and hyper­saline Lake Eliza, to the tran­quil deep Fresh­wa­ter Lake. These areas are tra­di­tion­al­ly home to the Bun­gan­ditj and Mein­tangk indige­nous groups, and shell mid­dens can still be seen in the park today.From the wild coast and beach­es, the dunes and clifftops give way to thick groves of Coastal Mallee and Melaleu­ca, dense rush­es and sam­phire flats sur­round­ing the lakes. The park is key habi­tat for threat­ened species such as Hood­ed Plovers, Lit­tle Dip Spi­der Orchids and Swamp Antech­i­nus. With four camp­grounds to choose from, the park is a pop­u­lar camp­ing des­ti­na­tion. It offers a range of recre­ation­al and immer­sive expe­ri­ences in nature includ­ing bird watch­ing, relax­ing walks around the unique lake sys­tems, and beach activ­i­ties such as surf­ing and fishing.
