Alfred National Park

Alfred National Park encompasses 3,050 hectares of protected land featuring warm temperate rainforest with a closed canopy of Lilly Pilly trees and diverse vegetation.

The establishment of Alfred National Park as a protected area occurred on October 30, 1956, under the management of Parks Victoria for environmental conservation.

The park represents a vital ecological intersection where subtropical and cool temperate plant species meet, creating distinct biological communities within Victoria.

Located 388 kilometers east of Melbourne, the park is accessible via the Princes Highway, which connects the towns of Cann River and Genoa.

Four varieties of tree ferns grow alongside specialized orchids, including the orange-blossom orchid and rock orchid within the park boundaries.
