Little Desert National Park

Introducing Little Desert National Park

This national park may not, initially, appear very desert-like, as there’s a rich diversity of plants and wildflowers. Two sealed roads between the Western and Wimmera Hwys pass through the park, or you can take the good gravel road from Dimboola. The best-known resident here is the mallee fowl.

There are short walks in the eastern block. Longer walks leave from the camping ground south of Kiata, including a 12km trek south to the Salt Lake; always carry water and notify Parks Victoria (03-5389 1204) before you set out. Oasis Desert Adventures (0419-824 618) offers a fun way to see the desert, and learn about it.
