Yarra Ranges National Park protects one of Victoria’s largest areas of cool temperate rainforest, stretching from the Dandenong Ranges to the alpine foothills east of Melbourne. Towering mountain ash, lush fern gullies, cascading waterfalls, and rugged mountain scenery provide habitat for native wildlife, including lyrebirds, wombats, and powerful owls. It’s one of the region's most beautiful areas to explore, whether you’re walking to remote summits, wandering rainforest tracks, or visiting one of its many scenic lookouts.
