Information

Mount Napier (Aboriginal name Tapoc) is the youngest volcano in the state of Victoria and last erupted 10,000 years ago, creating the magnificent state park around its base.

There is a walking track to the summit, which leads through the forest and past interesting volcanic formations. The walk winds through manna gum and Blackwood forest and past impressive volcanic features including a lava canal and tumulus and featuring a scoria zone at the summit. Enjoy magnificent views from the Grampians to the sea.

A major attraction in the park is the Byaduk Caves. The caves were created when lava from Mount Napier solidified on top, and molten lava continued to flow underneath the surface. The largest of the Byaduk Caves measures 18 metres wide, 20 metres deep and 10 metres high.
