Currumuindi Lake (Kathleen McArthur) Conservation Park

A bushland remnant of c. 50 ha beside the estuarine Currimundi Lake and the beach but otherwise surrounded by gross suburbia.
The Park features heathland, swamp woodland, coastal scrub and littoral vine-thicket and contains at least five species of Banksia.

Kathleen McArthur was a writer, poet and painter who fought to save native vegetation in the face of development.
She wrote "It is only when the mind opens that the flowers bloom." As the Sunshine Coast was developed, not enough people had minds open to the beauty that was destroyed.
