Where: The park is about a 4~5 hour drive from Melbourne in the far north-west of the state. Check out this page here for a bit more info including how to get there. There are a number of camp grounds scattered through the park with limited to no  facilities. In the far north west corner is the Shearer's Hut, with 14 beds and cooking and bathing facilities. For $50/night it is HIGHLY recommended.

Birding: This area is one of the best places in Australia to find the specialist mallee species and, amongst others, I've seen Red-lored Whistler, Black-eared Miner, Mallee Emu-wren, Striated Grasswren, Grey-fronted Honeyeater, Red-backed Kingfisher, Crimson Chat, Rufous Fieldwren, Pied Honeyeater and Black Honeyeater here. The water birds on the list below were all seen on the Meridian Wetland, which is not actually in the park, but north of it on the Meridian Road leading south from the Stuart Highway. One of the best places in the park is the Rock Holes, where you can also camp but there are no facilities. The Raak Plains to the east is similarly excellent and good for Rufous Fieldwren and Orange Chat. The main reason for our visit this time was to observe the amazing influx of irruptive species into northern Victoria that occurred this Spring. We found large numbers of Crimson Chat, Black Honeyeater and Pied Honeyeater as well as lots of Pallid Cuckoos, White-winged Trillers and Red-backed Kingfishers.
