About Yaapeet & Wyperfeld National Park
Wyperfeld National Park spans the red mallee country of northwestern Victoria, where ancient sand dunes rise above low vegetation and sparse woodlands. This remote park is a stronghold for native wildlife and offers some of the least developed natural landscapes in southeastern Australia. It's ideal for visitors seeking solitude, bush camping, and accessible walking trails through pristine mallee habitat.

Close to the visitor centre, Tyakil Nature Walk (4km) provides an easy introduction to the landscape, while Frews Plain Track, Mallefowl Walk, and Desert Walk are all within 7km and showcase the park's distinctive mallee ecology. For longer adventures, Lookout Dune Track (47km away) and the easy Hermans Hill Track (73km) extend your exploration further into the park.
