Mount Buffalo National Park

An all-seasons park, Mt Buffalo has sheer cliffs, imposing granite tors, tumbling waterfalls, snow gums and stunning wildflowers. First reserved in 1898, the 31,000ha park contains vegetation and fauna adapted to extremes of weather, as a result of its sub-alpine location.

Mt Buffalo is often called the family mountain because of its visitor-friendly atmosphere. Aboriginal people made summer ascents to Mt Buffalo and other alpine areas to gather and feast on protein-rich bogong moths that cluster in rock crevices, and also to meet and hold ceremonies.
