The Mount Arapiles-Tooan State Park is a state park in the Wimmera plains of western Victoria, Australia.[1][2][3] It encompasses Mount Arapiles, Mitre Rock, and the Tooan block. The park covers an area of 7,475 hectares (18,470 acres) and is valuable for nature conservation, with approximately 14% of the State's flora species represented in the Mount Arapiles area.
The major landmarks in the park are:
- Mount Arapiles; a prominent rock formation that is a popular rock climbing destination.
- Mitre Rock; a small outcrop of rock beside Lake Mitre that is also not far from Mount Arapiles.
- Tooan block; an area containing the remnants of woodlands that have elsewhere been largely cleared for agriculture.
The park is managed by Parks Victoria.
