Explore Mount Napier State Park: A Volcanic Journey

Mount Napier State Park, located approximately 220 kilometres west of Melbourne, Victoria, offers a unique opportunity to explore the remnants of Victoria’s most recently active volcano. The park’s summit trail winds through manna gum and Blackwood forests, providing glimpses of impressive volcanic formations such as lava canals and scoria cones. From the peak, visitors can enjoy panoramic views stretching from the Grampians to the coast.

Beyond the summit, the park is renowned for the Byaduk Caves, a remarkable system of lava caves formed by a 24-kilometre lava flow from Mount Napier to Mount Eccles. These caves feature intricate formations including stalactites, stalagmites, and columns.

Before visiting Mount Napier State Park, it is essential to check the Parks Victoria website for the latest information on park conditions and closures. Additionally, visitors should be prepared for potential bushfire conditions and adhere to bushfire safety guidelines.
