Mitchell River National Park

Mitchell River National Park spans 14,250 hectares of landscapes containing river valleys, forests, and wetlands located 320 kilometers east of Melbourne.

The protected area, established in December 1962 as Glenaladale National Park, expanded in 1986 and 2003 to its current size and designation.

The Den of Nargun within the park holds traditional significance for the Gunai/Kurnai nation as a place for women's initiation ceremonies.

The northern section connects to Dargo while multiple walking paths throughout the reserve accommodate visitors interested in hiking and wildlife observation.

The Mitchell River forms the largest unregulated waterway in Victoria, creating deep gorges that shelter the southernmost warm-temperate rainforests on Earth.
