Chandlers Creek - Coopracambra National Park
Located in one of the most remote areas of Victoria, Coopracambra National Park is of high conservation value with its undisturbed ecosystems, a heritage river, rare flora and fauna and diverse landscapes. Three major roads surround the park - the Monaro Highway to the west, the Imlay Highway to the north in NSW and the Princes Highway to the south - but its rugged terrain and isolation means it remains largely undisturbed.
Within the park, there are few tracks and sections are suitable only for four-wheel drive access. The WB Line is the main park road, and gives access to the cascading Beehive Falls and to the helipad at Mealing Hill, with breathtaking views. The red sandstone gorge for the Genoa River and the surrounding granite peaks offer outstanding scenery.
The wilderness core of the park provides excellent opportunities for extended remote 'off track' walks, for experienced and well equipped hikers. The park is a very significant geological site and ancient tetrapod footprints have been found in Upper Devonian sediments. These footprints are believed to be the oldest fossil record of any land-dwelling vertebrate.
