Wilsons Promontory National Park - Victoria, with almost 16% of the state reserved, is blessed with some very unique parks. The Prom, a favourite of Victorians, occupies a rugged granite peninsula at the most southerly point on the Australian mainland. Due to its beauty and close approximation to Melbourne, it is an extremely popular park particularly during the Christmas - New Year break.

Wyperfeld National Park - Located in the flat, semi-arid north-western corner of Victoria, Wyperfeld is one of Australia's most fascinating national parks. The central feature of this huge, 356,800 ha park, is a chain of lake beds connected by Outlet Creek, the northern extension of the Wimmera River. The lakes only fill when the Wimmera River over-supplies Lake Hindmarsh to the south of Lake Albacutya. When it rains the semi-arid landscape is transformed by tiny desert plants that sprout from long-dormant seeds, carpeting the ground with clusters of flowers.
