Tarra-Bulga National Park

Tarra-Bulga National Park is a nature reserve featuring mountain ash forests with elevated walkways and suspension bridges. A network of walking trails winds through fern gullies and connects different sections of the property.

The park was established in 1956 as a protected area to preserve the original temperate rainforest ecosystems of the Strzelecki Ranges. This action reflected early conservation efforts in Australia.

The park maintains deep connections to Indigenous communities who utilized the forest resources and developed extensive knowledge of local plant species.

The Balook Visitor Centre is a good starting point and provides maps, restroom facilities, and picnic areas. The various walking tracks have different difficulty levels, so visitors should consider their abilities and available time.

The mountain ash trees in the park are among the world's tallest flowering plants, reaching heights of over 70 meters. This exceptional size results from the ideal conditions provided by the moist forest environment.
