I visited up there donkeys ago and it was a spectacular sight after rain i have heard after the fires the regrowth is worth checking out . go and do a quick loop at the least and let us know how you went .
Big desert is up that way too (another nice place or my favourite is Hattah lakes good spot to walk and veg out especially if there is
water in the lakes. plenty of goannas emus and skippies up there and galahs to wake you up.

I agree with all of the above. When I was there in '99 they were busy working on the
camp sites. Whyperfield gives you a feeling of remoteness. Did not drive right through the
park as some of the tracks were washed out and we weren't set up for 'offroading'. I drove through
Big Desert in 2001. Got caught in the rain. It was very slippery and spent most of the track in 4wd. There is a
good campsite on
Lake Hindmarsh a short way west of
Jeparit. You could also drive through the Murray-Sunset NP past the
Pink Lakes and
Rocket Lake. All pretty remote so close to 'civilisation'. Hattah/Kulkyne NP is also very nice as stated by Toonfish. Have a good time.Cheers, Willem
Never a dull moment

There is no
water at Hattah/Kulkyne -
Lake Hattah is full of trees - though the
camping area is still ok - no
water at Mournpoul either apparently
this was at New Year can't see it would have changed much in this short time. Still good
places to go around Hattah/Kulkyne .
