About Mount Buffalo National Park

Mount Buffalo National Park
 

Located in the state of Victoria, Australia, Mount Buffalo National Park spans over a vast area characterized by impressive granite cliffs, lush alpine meadows, and sub-alpine woodlands. Established in 1898, it is one of Australia's oldest national parks. The park's diverse ecology is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including several rare and endangered species. Visitors can explore over 90 kilometers of walking trails, ranging from easy walks to challenging hikes, offering breathtaking views and access to iconic landmarks like The Horn, the park's highest point. Rock climbing, abseiling, and hang-gliding are popular among thrill-seekers, while winter transforms the landscape into a snowy playground for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. The crystal-clear waters of Lake Catani allow for serene kayaking and fishing experiences, making the park a year-round destination for nature lovers.
