One of Australia's first national parks; its granite formations drew the country's first sport climbers in the late 19th century
Declared in 1898, among the first national parks in Australia, Mount Buffalo drew the country's first organised sport climbers from the late 19th century, thanks to its exposed granite formations, laying the foundations of modern recreational climbing in Australia long before the activity became popular internationally.
