Kelly Hill Conservation Park, formerly the Kelly Hill National Park, is a protected area in South Australia located on Kangaroo Island. The Kelly Hill Caves system is the main attraction within the conservation park. In 1993, a portion of the conservation park was excised to create the Cape Bouguer Wilderness Protection Area. It is classified as an IUCN Category III protected area.[3][1][4]
