Coopracambra National Park Adventures

Coopracambra National Park is located in the far eastern corner of Victoria, Australia, adjoining the Croajingolong National Park along the New South Wales border. The park features steep granitic mountain ranges, dense forests, deep river valleys, and wild rivers including the Brown Mountain Creek and the Genoa River. Its landscape varies from temperate rainforests in sheltered valleys to granite outcrops and dry sclerophyll forests on ridges. The park is home to a rich diversity of native flora and fauna, including threatened species such as the powerful owl, spotted tree frog, and several rare orchids. It holds cultural significance to the Gunai/Kurnai and other indigenous groups with sites of traditional importance found throughout the area. Visitors to Coopracambra National Park enjoy numerous hiking opportunities with trails ranging from short walks to challenging multi-day routes, including the remote and iconic East Gippsland Heritage Trail. The park's wild rivers and rocky pools provide good spots for fishing and kayaking. Due to its remote location and low visitor numbers compared to neighboring parks, it offers a highly serene and natural experience for wilderness enthusiasts. The park is also an important refuge for native wildlife, with minimal development and limited infrastructure. Access is often via unsealed roads, emphasizing the sense of adventure that comes with exploring this less-visited national park in Victoria’s Gippsland region.
