Black Range State Park is a state park located 340 km (210 mi) northwest of Melbourne, Australia, near the town of Cavendish, covering an area of 117 square kilometres (29,000 acres).[1][2][3] In addition to natural flora and fauna, the park protects Aboriginal art and occupation sites of the Jardwadjali people. The area's steep, rocky terrain meant it was never cleared by pastoralists, and has essentially remained in its natural condition.
