Kooyoora State Park, Protected area in Victoria, Australia.
The park spans 11,350 hectares of land characterized by granite outcrops, box-ironbark forests, and native grasslands that support diverse wildlife populations.
Established in 1985, the park area served as a hideout for Captain Melville during the 1850s gold rush period in Victoria's history.
The Dja Dja Wurrung people named this land Guyura, meaning mountain of light, and maintained deep connections through ceremonies and spiritual practices.
Located 220 kilometers northwest of Melbourne, the park offers facilities including walking tracks, camping grounds, picnic areas, and Catto Lodge with stone fireplace.
Melville Caves, formed by massive granite boulders, rise to an elevation of 349 meters and provide a natural lookout across the surrounding landscape.
