Heathcote-Greytown National Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heathcote-Graytown National Park is located in the North Central region of Victoria, Australia. The park, which includes sections of the Great Dividing Range, adjoins a number of state forests, including the McIvor Ranges State Forrest and is located just outside the town of Heathcote.

The area's status as a national park is relatively new, having only been gazetted by the Victorian Government in 2002. This was a controversial issue at the time.^{[citation needed]} It was primarily proclaimed to protect Victoris diminishing box-ironbark forests, crucial in retaining Victoria's biodiversity.

The park can be accessed via the Northern Highway and is approximately 110 km from Melbourne.
