Sinclair Island Conservation Park is a protected area associated with Sinclair Island which is located off the west coast of Eyre Peninsula in South Australia about 24 kilometres (15 mi) south of Penong. The park which was declared as Fauna Conservation Reserve in March 1967, was re-proclaimed in 1972 under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 to ‘conserve island habitat and protect Australian sea lion haul-out areas.’[2][3]
