Alfred

Alfred National Park is a remote and rugged protected area located in far East Gippsland, Victoria, covering approximately 3,090 hectares along the Genoa River valley. Named after Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, who visited Australia in 1867–68, this park preserves some of the most intact cool temperate and warm temperate rainforest in the state. The park is characterized by its dense, mist-shrouded forests, dramatic river gorges, and pristine wilderness. It adjoins Croajingolong National Park to the south and together they form part of a larger protected landscape corridor in southeastern Victoria. The isolation of Alfred National Park means visitor numbers remain low, preserving its exceptional ecological values.
