Currimundi Lake Conservation Park (also known as Kathleen McArthur Conservation Park) was named after Kathleen McArthur, a conservationist and wildflower artist. Kathleen had campaigned for the protection of this lake and other wallum heathlands on the Sunshine Coast.
This conservation park is an exciting place to take a walk and photograph a wide array of bird species who live within the park.
