Terrick Terrick National Park is a 3,880 ha (9,600 acres) national park in Victoria, Australia, 225 km (140 mi) northwest of Melbourne, 4 km (2.5 mi) north of the town of Mitiamo and 65 km (40 mi) north of the City of Bendigo. It is an important remnant of Box-Ironbark forests and northern grass plains and is close to Kow Swamp, the site of a major palaeontological find providing insight into the origins of Indigenous Australians. There are many walking tracks and one basic campground. Drinking water is not available in the park and must be carried.
Terrick Terrick National park is one of the last remaining strongholds for the Plains-wanderer, an endangered Australian endemic bird species. The park is part of the Patho Plains Important Bird Area, so identified by BirdLife International principally because of its importance for the conservation of Plains-wanderers.[1]
