Moondarra State Park

Moondarra State Park takes in an area of 6,292 hectares of forest on the northern edge of the Latrobe Valley. The park was proclaimed in January 1986. The park protects a rich variety of native flora and fauna whilst providing for sightseeing, picnicking, camping and other activities.

Flora & Fauna - Koalas have been released in the area and may be seen in the park. Nearly 100 bird species have been recorded and echidnas, bandicoots, possums, gliders and a number of reptiles can also be seen. The variety of habitat also provides home for many butterflies.

The woodland is of an unusual vegetation type, considered to be of a state significance. Features include banksia and hakea shrubs over a ground layer of spear grass, sedges and lilies. The area is noted for its wildflower displays, particularly along Seninis Track where 16 species of native orchids have been recorded.
