About this guide
Last reviewed · verify live park facts with Parks Victoria
mountbuffalonationalpark.com.au is an independent, unofficial visitor guide. We help people plan walks, lookouts, itineraries, stays and tours in and around Mount Buffalo National Park, Victoria — seasonal roads, a first stop at the Gorge, and picking one main walk.
We are not Parks Victoria, the Victorian Government, Visit Victoria, VicRoads, or any Traditional Owner group unless explicitly stated.
Parks Victoria respects the deep and continuing connection that Taungurung Traditional Ownershave to Mount Buffalo National Park. This unofficial guide acknowledges that connection. We do not speak for Traditional Owner groups or for Parks Victoria, and we do not add cultural stories that are not on the public record. For formal wording, use Parks Victoria and Traditional Owner sources.

Mount Buffalo sits on hub collections for Victorian alpine walking, parks on the Melbourne orbit, and “not a casual capital day-trip” — unlike a Sydney cliff outing or a subtropical boardwalk park.
