Heathcote-Graytown National Park

Heathcote-Graytown National Park encompasses 12,833 hectares of protected land within the Great Dividing Range, featuring box-ironbark forests and diverse wildlife species.

The Victorian Government established this national park in 2002 to protect the declining box-ironbark forests, which represent a crucial ecological system in the region.

The park management involves active collaboration with Traditional Owners, integrating indigenous knowledge into conservation practices and environmental stewardship.

Visitors can access multiple trails and lookout points throughout the park via Mclvor Highway, with designated parking areas available at main entrance points.

The park forms part of the Rushworth Box-Ironbark Region Important Bird Area, providing essential habitat for swift parrots and other native woodland birds.
