Description
The country is characterised by sand dunes with a mosaic of open mallee scrub. Ridge-fruited and red-tipped slender leaf mallees add colour to the dunes with broombush growing in the mottled shade.[2] The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category Ia protected area.[3]
Fauna
Pygmy possums and eighteen species of reptile inhabit the park.[4]
Recognition by non-government organisations
Billiatt Conservation Park is part of an area of land considered by BirdLife International to be an Important Bird Area because it contains small but globally important populations of malleefowl, mallee emu-wren and purple-gaped honeyeater, as well as the rare western whipbird and red-lored whistler.[5]
