Mount Arapiles-Tooan State Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mount Arapiles-Tooan State Park is a state park in the Wimmera plains of western Victoria, Australia. It encompasses Mount Arapiles, Mitre Rock, and the Tooan block. The park covers an area of 50.6 km² and is valuable for nature conservation, with approximately 14% of the State's flora species represented in the Mount Arapiles area. The wildflowers are particularly abundant in spring.

The major landmarks in the park are:

• Mount Arapiles; a prominent rock formation that is a popular rock climbing destination.
• Mitre Rock; a small outcrop of rock beside Lake Mitre that is also not far from Mount Arapiles.
• Tooan block; an area containing the remnants of woodlands that have elsewhere been largely cleared for agriculture.

The park is managed by Parks Victoria.
