Morwell National Park

Morwell National Park is a 565-hectare protected area in the Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia, situated approximately 164 kilometres east of Melbourne in the Strzelecki Ranges. The park preserves a remnant of the once-widespread wet sclerophyll forests that characterized much of the region, along with pockets of temperate rainforest restricted to deep creek gullies. Established in November 1966 through legislation passed in 1967, the park represents a significant conservation outcome driven by local community advocacy, particularly the Latrobe Valley Field Naturalists Club, which recognized the area's ecological importance in the early 1950s. The park's biodiversity is remarkable for its size, with over 320 plant species and 179 native fauna species recorded within its boundaries.
