	Wyperfeld National Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wyperfeld National Park is the third largest national park in Victoria (south-eastern Australia).
		More recently, agricultural irrigation and drainage projects in the surrounding areas have cut off a significant part of Wyperfeld's water supply, and the lakes have not been completely filled since 1975, and had drained again just two years later.
		The current landforms took shape as the sea gradually retreated, leaving a vast expanse of sandy sediment which, as it dried, was formed into sand dunes during the period 40,000 to 15,000 years ago.

		In fact, the comment from the proprietor when we checked in was: "You're not choosy, are you?" After a night of trucks backfiring, drunken revelry and other noises, we were both wide awake at six o'clock, and Tom decided to join me birding that morning.
