Editing Baw Baw National Park (section)

==Activities==
The major uses of the park are skiing in winter and bushwalking in summer. It is popular for cross country skiing, downhill skiing, summer bushwalking, rafting and canoeing, fishing, scenic drives and picnics. The [[Australian Alps Walking Track]] traverses its entire length, starting at [[Walhalla, Victoria|Walhalla]] and continuing north towards the [[Alpine National Park]]. The Baw Baw section takes a bit less than three days to walk with plenty to see for those interested in botany or geology.

There is popular ski touring along the Baw Baw Plateau between Mount Baw Baw, past Mount St Phillack to Mount St Gwinear. There is a volunteer ski patrol group who run on weekends and patrol around the St Gwinear portion of the national park. They access the park from the opposite side of the plateau to the ski resort at Mount Baw Baw.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.stgwinearsp.org/index.html |title=Home page |publisher=St Gwinear Ski Patrol Inc |access-date=6 February 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060220164552/http://www.stgwinearsp.org/index.html |archive-date=20 February 2006 }}</ref> Other popular skiing is [[Nordic skiing]] at Mount Baw Baw, introduced in 1972 including championship races and a ski school.<ref>[http://www.mountbawbaw.com.au/pdf/history.pdf History of the Mount Baw Baw region] June 2002 {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061212045408/http://www.mountbawbaw.com.au/pdf/history.pdf |date=12 December 2006 }}</ref>
