Home > Alpine National Park

Alpine is a national park in Victoria ( Australia), northeast of Melbourne. It covers much of the higher areas of the Great Dividing Range in Victoria, most of Victoria's skiing resorts, the subalpine woodland and grassland of the Bogong High Plains , and Victoria's highest point, Mount Bogong.

The majority of the park was affected by a large bushfire in early 2003, the largest since fires in 1939. Most facilities for tourists were relatively unaffected. Fires are a periodic feature of most Australian ecosystems.

Unusually for an Australian national park, agricultural activity is conducted in the park, with quotas of cattle controversially allowed to graze on the High Plains during the summer months.

The park's eastern and north-eastern boundary is alone the border with New South Wales in some parts; on the other side of the border is the Kosciuszko National Park.

Alpine National Park is divided into six sections:

Wonnangatta-Moroka
Mt. Buller-Stirling
Mt. Hotham-Feathertop
Bogong High Plains
Wombargo-The Cobberas
Tingaringy
