Mount Granya State Park

Located in Victoria's north-east, Mount Granya State Park (6180 hectares) is characterised by steep, rocky slopes and plateaux giving rise to an open forest of eucalypts and low shrubs.

The area was reserved to provide opportunities for recreation and education in a natural setting and to protect and conserve natural ecosystems. The park extends from the Murray River in the north to the Murray Valley Highway in the south. Mount Granya State Park boosts its heritage from days of gold mining to timber cutting, to the historic Granya Scout Hut. Many local families still live in the area with information at the Cottontree Picnic Area and the nearby Granya Heritage Museum explaining their contact with the park and the local area.

The range of faunal habitats give rise to a number of wildlife species including the Eastern Grey Kangaroo, Black-tailed Wallaby and the Common Wombat. Birds recorded in the park include the Wedge-tailed Eagle, Crimson Rosella and Sulphur-crested Cockatoo.
