	Fossil sites of Australia - Naracoorte
		The Naracoorte Caves Conservation Park was proclaimed under the South Australia National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972.
		Visitors to these spectacular limestone formations in Naracoorte Caves for over a century were unaware that nearby in hidden chambers a detailed record of the local fauna had been steadily accumulating for more than 3000 centuries.
		The cave acted like a huge natural pitfall trap: animals that fell in were unable to escape through the high entrance and died, their skeletons lying nearly undisturbed for millennia.

		Other wintering and staging caves have come under increasing pressure through recreational caving activities but there is no evidence yet that such activity has resulted in any adverse effects on the bats.
		The species is an obligate cave dweller (although some individuals occasionally roost in human constructed tunnels and buildings) and is likely to be dependent for its survival upon the only three known maternity caves (Naracoorte Bat Cave, Lake Gillear Guano Cave and the recently collapsed Thunder Point Blowhole).
		Each cave has structural characteristics which allow heat and humidity to build up so that conditions are suitable for the nursing of young bats.

	Proclamation of Naracoorte Caves National Park
		It is worth noting that from an environmental perspective the level of protection for the park does not change when you change its name from conservation park to national park.
		I am quite happy for the name change, just as there was a change for the Belair National Park from conservation park to national park about seven years ago, although I must say that its being considered a national park did not stop a major proposal for a resort development inside the park.
		The western end of that park was severely degraded in the past through grazing, etc. Whilst it is nowhere near pristine, significant work has been done by volunteer groups over several decades progressively to reinstate it.
