Paddys Ranges State Park, near Maryborough, 170 kilometres (110 mi) northwest of Melbourne, Australia comprises 2,010 hectares (5,000 acres) of native vegetation.[1][2][3] Gold mining and eucalyptus oil production within the park date back to the 1840s but have long closed down. The vegetation is primarily of box-ironbark forest, with prominent golden wattle and native orchids. Swift parrots, painted honeyeaters, wedge-tailed eagles and crested bellbirds are all present.
Camping and fires are permitted in designated areas.
