About Mystic Park

Mystic Park is a small rural locality in north-west Victoria, straddling the Murray Valley Highway between Kerang and Swan Hill within the Gannawarra Shire local government area. Covering over 100 square kilometres of flat Murray-Darling basin country, the locality sits in one of Victoria's most productive agricultural regions, known for its irrigated cropping, horticulture, and livestock industries. With a population of around 200, Mystic Park is a genuine outback-fringe farming community surrounded by the vast flatlands and wetlands of the Murray plain.

The locality is notable for Kangaroo Lake, a popular spot for camping, fishing, and birdwatching that draws visitors from across the Loddon-Murray region. The Mystic Park Vineyard, owned by Brown Brothers, highlights the area's horticultural credentials. Swan Hill, approximately 30 kilometres to the north, and Kerang to the south, provide residents with schools, supermarkets, hospitals, and services. It suits those drawn to affordable rural land, outdoor pursuits, and the wide-open landscapes of the Murray corridor.
