Editing Little Desert National Park (section)

===Pre-National Park===
Prior to the establishment of the park, small Aboriginal family groups camped along the Wimmera River. European activity began with grazing from the 1840s but had ceased by the 1960s. During the [[World War II|Second World War]] the Central Block was used as a bombing and gunnery range and the remains of several concrete observation bunkers are still present.<ref name=History>{{cite book |last1=Morgan |first1=Ian |last2=Goods |first2=Graham |last3=Goods |first3=Maree |date=2014 |title=Birds and Plants of the Little Desert: A photographic Guide |location=Horsham |publisher=I.L.
