Dergholm State Park (10 400 ha) and the block (3 550 ha) of Mt Arapiles-Tooan State Park protect important landforms of the Wannon and Wimmera regions. The Parks are important for their unique and highly diverse vegetation communities supporting a range of significant fauna species. Two nationally significant vegetation communities occur in Dergholm State Park. Both Parks represent some of the most intact and last remaining vegetation communities within the regions. The Parks are isolated from major population centres but are natural settings for recreation opportunities. Activities in Dergholm State Park include walking, picnicking, nature study, camping and orienteering, with visitor facilities at Bailey’s Rocks. The Tooan block of the Mt Arapiles-Tooan State Park is primarily managed for the protection of its natural values, hence recreation opportunities are limited. The Mt Arapiles block is the visitor focus for the Park because of the internationally renowned rock climbing opportunities there. (Mt Arapiles already has a Management Plan.) Significant management directions for the Parks are summarised below. Bailey’s Rocks visitor area in Dergholm State Park will be maintained and new information and interpretation facilities will be provided. Testing for Cinnamon Fungus in Dergholm State Park will be undertaken. Flora and fauna surveys will be encouraged in the Tooan block of Mt Arapiles-Tooan State Park. Habitat links between the blocks in each Park will continue to be encouraged. Tracks in both Parks will be protected from inappropriate uses. semi- remote
