We then drove a short distance down the road to Mitre Rock, which is located within the Mount Arapiles-Tooan State Park VKFF-0765.

The Mount Arapiles-Tooan State Park encompasses Mount Arapiles, Mitre Rock, and the Tooan block.

The park covers an area of 7,475 hectares (18,470 acres) and was established in 1987. About 14% of Victoria’s state flora species is represented in the Mount Arapiles area.

Mitre Rock is the ‘little sister’ to Mount Arapiles.

I have previously activated and qualified this park for the World Wide Flora Fauna (WWFF) program, so I made just a handful of contacts, allowing Marija to get as many contacts as possible.
