Mount Buffalo National Park This is not a large park, but it is one of Victoria's favourites. In winter it is a haven for skiers. In summer bushwalkers and campers descend on the park, taking in the superb views from the granite peaks, the gushing waterfalls, and the display of alpine wildflowers. Lake Catani is a popular spot for canoeists, and rock climbing and hang-gliding are also popular. Contact Parks Victoria on 131 963; 10 km NW.
