Hattah - Kulkyne National Park

Hattah-Kulkyne National Park spreads across wetlands, lakes, and red gum forests with eleven large interconnected water bodies throughout. Native vegetation surrounds these water systems, creating a diverse landscape of woodlands and open spaces.

Parks Victoria established this protected area in 1960 to safeguard the diverse ecosystems of the Murray River region. The decision recognized the ecological importance of these landscapes for the wider area.

The land holds deep significance for Indigenous Australian communities whose ancestors lived here for thousands of years. Walking through the park, you can see evidence of their long relationship with the environment at various heritage sites.

The park has multiple camping grounds with basic facilities and walking trails marked for different skill levels. The best time to visit is spring and winter when weather is pleasant and wildlife viewing is most rewarding.

During winter months, the lakes become breeding grounds for over 200 bird species, drawing bird watchers from across the region. These seasonal shifts mean each visit at a different time offers completely new sights and experiences.
