About Mount Buffalo National Park
Mount Buffalo National Park is a 31,000-hectare alpine national park in Victoria's High Country, within Alpine Shire, 350 km northeast of Melbourne. Established in 1898, it is one of Victoria's oldest national parks. The park is notable for its massive granite plateau, sheer cliffs, tors and waterfalls, rising to 1,723 m at The Horn, and for its year-round recreation including hiking, rock climbing and winter snow activities.

Visitors can explore marked walking tracks, view waterfalls including Eurobin Falls, picnic at Lake Catani, see the historic Mount Buffalo Chalet, and in winter experience snow-covered landscapes for cross-country skiing and snow play.
