Morwell National Park is a 560–hectare national park in Victoria, Australia, 140 km east of Melbourne. It is 16 km south of Morwell in the Strzelecki Ranges and preserves a remnant of previously widespread wet sclerophyll forests and some rainforest remnants restricted to deep creek gullies. 320 plant species have been recorded for this park, including five rare or threatened species and 44 orchid species. 129 native fauna species have been recorded, including 19 mammals, 96 birds, 11 reptiles and three amphibians.
Weeds and pest animals represent a threat to the park, particularly because of its small size.

Borrow a child and stay in the house all day with the child,
or go to the public park with the child, and take the child
to the welfare office and cry and say your man left you and
be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
back ...”
—Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
