Protecting our national parks

National Parks are for everyone - leave the park as you find it and help us ensure that they remain for future generations to use.

Do

• Take all rubbish home with you for recycling or disposal.
• Camp only in designated areas.
• Bring adequate water - there is usually limited drinking water available.
• Bring a compass and topographic maps.
• Keep to designated tracks.
• Carry the right gear when you are walking, including drinking water, strong comfortable shoes, first aid kit, a jumper and/or waterproof jacket, a shady hat.
• Stay on the tracks.

Don't

• Bring pets - dogs and other pets are not permitted.
• Camp under large trees - branches can drop without warning.
• Light fires or barbecues on days of Total Fire Ban.
• Dig a pit toilet within 100 metres of a waterway.
• Take vehicles, including motor bikes, off formed open roads.

Road rules and safety

Most driving tracks are dry weather only. In some months the parks are inaccessible due to wet weather so check with Parks Victoria before visiting. All vehicles must be registered and drivers licensed.
