EXPLORING VICTORIA’S NATIONAL PARKS
Victoria's national parks are open to everyone, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so it's not surprising they attract 35 million visitors annually. Many parks have facilities and special tracks for people who are less mobile or need a wheelchair, and in some parks there are even all-terrain wheelchairs available. And while our parks are open for all Victorians to enjoy they also exist as the only way to give long-term protection to our native plants and animals by protecting the places in which they live.
