Hattah - Kulkyne National Park
Hattah-Kulkyne National Park lies in typical mallee country with extensive low scrub and open native pine woodland. Superbly adapted birds, animals and vegetation thrive in the poor, sandy soils and searing summers.
The freshwater Hattah Lakes is seasonally filled by creeks connected to the Murray, providing food and shelter for waterbirds and fish. These lakes can remain full for up to ten years without flooding, but flooding generally occurs once every two years.
Camping, walking, bike riding and canoeing are popular here and in the adjoining Murray-Kulkyne Park.

How we keep it special
The Mallee and River Red Gum Parks Conservation Action Plans provide directions for environmental conservation management across the diverse landscape. The Mallee plan focuses on the heathlands on sand dunes, saline soaks, woodlands, riverine and lake systems. The River Red Gum Plan looks at landscapes which are supported by the Murray River from dry and riverine forests to woodlands, freshwater and saline wetlands.
