Canunda National Park is a

Adelaide, on the coast about 13 km (8.1 mi) southwest of Millicent. It consists of coastal dunes, limestone cliffs, and natural bushland. The beaches can be dangerous, but are popular for beach fishing and 4WD's.[5]

The national park consists of two parts - the first part being land in the gazetted localities of

Carpenter Rocks at the headland of Cape Banks.[2]

From as far back as 10,000 years ago, members of the

Boandik group of Indigenous Australians lived in temporary camps along the coast during summer, and for the rest of the year they lived near inland swamps in relatively permanent huts (wurlies
).

Much of the national park is accessible only to

four wheel drive vehicles and walkers. The national park's office is located in the town of Southend
at the northernmost end of the park. The northern end of the national park was once part of Mayurra Station. The remnants of Canunda's pastoral history can be seen at Coola Outstation.
