The Organ Pipes National Park, abbreviated as OPNP, is a national park located in the Central region of Victoria, Australia. The 121-hectare (300-acre) protected area was established with the focus on conservation of the native flora and fauna, and preservation of the geological features in the Jacksons Creek, a part of the Maribyrnong valley, north-west of Melbourne. It is situated in a deep gorge in the grassy, basalt Keilor plains.
The distance between Melbourne and Organ Pipes National Park is 23 km. The road distance is 34.8 km.
The main attractions to OPNP are The Organ Pipes, Rosette Rock and Tessellated Pavement. This interesting basalt rock formation is located below and next to the Tessellated Pavement. Some rocks look like short hexagonal pillars.
