Breakaways Reserve

The Kanku-Breakaways Conservation Park, formerly known as The Breakaways Reserve or simply The Breakaways, is a protected area in northern South Australia, just off the Stuart Highway 33 km north of Coober Pedy. The park covers almost 15,000 hectares featuring majestic arid scenery and is home to almost 60 native flora species, including acacias, mallee, and eremophilia. It is also home to a variety of wildlife, including red kangaroos, euro, echidna, numerous bird species, and the fat-tailed dunnart. The park is significant for the Antakirinja Matuntjara Yankunytjatjara People and is co-managed by the Antakirinja Matu-Yankunytjatjara Aboriginal Corporation, District Council of Coober Pedy, and Department for Environment and Water
