Falls to Hotham Alpine Crossing

Parks Victoria / Falls Creek, Australia

The Falls to Hotham Alpine Crossing is Australia’s world class alpine walking experience that captures the essence of the Australian Alps – the solitude, the seasons, the breathtaking beauty and the stories of the high country. McGregor Coxall was invited by Parks Victoria, on behalf of Tourism North East, Tourism Victoria and Regional Development Victoria for landscape architecture and master planning design services for the proposed Falls to Hotham Alpine Crossing [FHAC] in the Alpine National Park in Victoria’s north east.

The walk will conserve, protect and celebrate the Alpine National Park’s natural and cultural values, adding to the park’s already significant contribution to the Australian tourism industry. McGregor Coxall is leading a process to create a strategic plan and implementation strategy which considers regional and commercial tourism, the establishment of experiences on offer by the FHAC, and communicates the project vision and key principles.
