Greater Bendigo National Park

Greater Bendigo National Park spans 17,007 hectares of forest, containing diverse ecosystems of woodlands, wetlands, and native grasslands across north-central Victoria.

The land underwent significant transformations over 150 years through gold mining operations, forestry activities, and eucalyptus oil production, shaping its current landscape.

The Dja Dja Wurrung People maintain traditional connections to this land, which contains protected Aboriginal artifacts and sacred sites throughout the park.

Visitors need a current Miner's Right permit for fossicking activities, and dogs are permitted on leads in designated areas of the park.

Only 17 percent of the original Box-Ironbark vegetation remains in Victoria, making this park a crucial sanctuary for this ecological system.
