Parks Victoria
Long-time volunteers, former rangers, Parks Victoria staff and supporters gathered at Wonga Campground on Saturday (6 June) to celebrate 50 years of the Friends of Wyperfeld National Park.
The celebration brought together cake, conversation and a panel discussion featuring Geoff Edwards, one of the group's co-founders, alongside former ranger John Miller and other long-time supporters.
Will Trimble, Area Chief Ranger for the Southern Mallee, said hearing the stories behind the park's history and the group's contribution was deeply moving.
'Learning about the history of the tracks being created dating back to the 1940s, and the ecological efforts of the group since they formed – it's nothing short of inspiring,' he said.
