Mount Buffalo National Park lies in the alpine region of Victoria, about 350 km north-east of Melbourne and about 12 km from the town of Bright in a straight line, covering 31,000 hectares. It takes in Mount Buffalo, a mountain plateau 1,723 metres above sea level. The park was created in 1898 around the plateau and Eurobin Falls, making it one of Australia's oldest national parks; it was enlarged in 1980 and added to the National Heritage List in 2008 as part of the Australian Alps parks. Huge granite boulders and striking rock formations crown the plateau, sheer cliffs drop from its edge, and lookouts give wide views over green valleys and blue ranges. Waterfalls tumble between the rocks on its slopes. A mountain road has reached the plateau since 1908, and there are walking tracks and lookouts on top, with snow in winter. Mountain weather changes fast, so bring warm clothes and pick a clear day.
