The Australian Alps National Parks - Overview Brochure
Australian Alps Liaison Committee
Summary
The Australian Alps straddle the borders of the ACT, New South Wales and Victoria. National parks and nature reserves within the Alps are managed by each state or territory government. In the past, each had its own way of dealing with the challenges of park management. In order to better protect Australia’s unique alpine and subalpine environments, the park agencies agreed to work together, in partnership with the Australian Government. The reserves now form a conservation zone of international significance known as the Australian Alps national parks.
The Australian Alps are an ancient landscape – some parts are more than 600 million years old. Ice, wind and water continually change the landscape. Humans too, mould the mountains … more and more as the years go by. The Australian Alps national parks are for all Australians to enjoy and cherish for the future.
