Terrick Terrick National Park

1

The Terrick Terrick National Park is a national park located in the region of Victoria, Australia. The 3880 ha national park was declared in June 1988 and is situated approximately 225 km northwest of Melbourne, 4 km north of the town of Mitiamo and 65 km north of Bendigo. The national park is an important remnant of Box-Ironbark forests and northern grass plains and is close to Kow Swamp, the site of a major palaeontological find providing insight into the origins of Indigenous Australians. There are many walking tracks and one basic campground. Drinking water is not available in the park and must be carried. Terrick Terrick National Park is one of the last remaining strongholds for the Plains-wanderer, an endangered Australian endemic bird species. The park is part of the Patho Plains Important Bird Area, so identified by BirdLife International principally because of its importance for the conservation of Plains-wanderers. The minimum elevation of the terrain is 82m, and the maximum is 196m.
