Covering 646,000ha, the Alpine National Park is the largest park in the state. Linking with national parks in NSW and the ACT, this protected area covers almost all of Australia's alpine environment. The snowfields are the primary winter attraction, with the warmer months revealing stunning wildflower displays. There is even the 655km Australian Alps Walking Track stretching from Walhalla to Canberra.
Flora & Fauna - The park supports a large diversity of animals including a number of threatened species such as the smoky mouse, broad-toothed rat, powerful owl, spotted tree frog and she-oak skink. Other animals include the mountain pygmy possum, bogong moth and little ravens.
The Alpine National Park contains more than 1100 native plant species, 12 of which, including the bogong daisy-bush and silky daisy are found nowhere else in the world. Snow gums are the most predominant species, and mature alpine ash forests are common. In higher exposed areas the vegetation consists of extensive heathlands, alpine herbfields and grasslands, mossbeds and snowpatch communities.
