About Murray-Sunset National Park
Murray-Sunset National Park is Victoria's largest national park, covering about 633,000 hectares in the far north-west of the state near Mildura. It protects a vast semi-arid landscape of mallee woodlands, sand dunes and seasonal salt lakes, including the famous Pink Lakes. Notable for its remote wilderness, diverse flora and fauna, and dark skies, it offers camping, walking and four-wheel driving in an isolated outback setting.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a remote, semi-arid wilderness with expansive mallee scrub, undulating dunes, and the striking Pink Lakes (Lake Crosbie, Lake Becking, Lake Kenyon and Lake Hardy) which appear pink due to algae and salt concentration. The park has unsealed sandy tracks, designated campgrounds, walking tracks, lookouts and salt flats. Facilities are basic and distances are large. Activities centre on nature observation, photography, hiking, birdwatching and 4WD touring with no shops or water supplies inside the park.
