About Nilpena Ediacara National Park
Nilpena Ediacara National Park, which includes the former Ediacara Conservation Park, is a national park located in the northern Flinders Ranges, in the state of South Australia. It is significant for its abundance of Ediacaran fossils, so named because of their discovery in the Ediacara Hills. It is located about around 551 km (342 mi) north of the city of Adelaide, around 30 kilometres (19 miles) south-west of the town of Leigh Creek in the state's Far North, and lies on the traditional lands of the Adnyamathanha people. The Flinders Ranges Ediacara Foundation was established in 2018 with a charter to protect the unique fossils.
