Brisbane Ranges National Park

The Moorabool region is a hiker’s paradise. Surrounded by stunning wilderness, native flora and fauna, gorges, rivers, picnic grounds, mineral springs and trails to suit hikers of all experience levels, there’s something for everyone in our State parks and forests.

Set in a low range of mountains dissected by rocky gullies, the unusual geology of the Brisbane Ranges has preserved plants that have long since vanished from other parts of the region. Some 619 native plant species, about one fifth of Victoria’s total, can be found in the ranges, and the Brisbane Ranges Grevillea is only found here.

It is popular for picnicking, scenic drives, birdwatching and camping, and visitors should keep an eye out for kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, possums and gliders. There are 170 species of native birds that have been recorded in the park.
