Be Bushfire Smart

Broken-Boosey State Park was proclaimed with the passing of the Box-Ironbark Bill on 30 October, 2002. It is a unique linear corridor bordering the Broken, Nine Mile and Boosey Creeks spanning 1030 hectares. The park includes streamside reserves and public land water frontages along the Broken and Boosey Creeks south-east of Numurkah and is the only substantial occurrence of high quality native vegetation on the northern plains.

• Activities such as nature study, bushwalking, horse riding and picnicking are features of Broken-Bosey State Park.
• There are recently constructed parking areas for fishermen (anglers) near popular fishing spots - Dip Bridge in particular.
• There is no camping within the Park, however, camping is allowed in nearby Natural Feature Reserves such as the Numurkah NFR, Youarang NFR and Tungamah NFR.
• It has a number of ongoing uses including licensed apiculture, stock movements and as an area to access water.

The park is a stronghold for native flora and fauna of the region, including over 20 threatened species. Some of the most significant species are the coolibah grass (only Victorian site), spiny-fruit saltbush, pepper grass and narrow-leaf sida.
