Plenty Gorge Park内にあるTanunda Wetlandsは、雨水を周辺の水路に流入する前にろ過するように設計された人造湿地です。このエリアは、浅い池と深い池が連なっており、葦や植生が自然に水をきれいにしています。散策すると、開けた草原と湿地の生息地の両方が混在しており、多種多様な野鳥を引き寄せています。

Sugarloaf Reservoir周辺の展望台からは、低い丘や点在する灌木林に囲まれた水面を一望できます。ここからの眺めは少し高く、谷に広がる貯水池の大きさをより実感できます。

Bordering the Yarra River near the Main Yarra Trail, the Royal Botanic Gardens are one of Melbourne’s most beautiful green spaces. The gardens cover 38 hectares and feature a mix of landscaped lawns, lakes, and collections of native and international plants. Walking paths wind through the gardens, offering quiet spots to relax beneath large trees or beside the water. It’s a peaceful place to take a break from the city, with great views of Melbourne’s skyline rising beyond the greenery.

Originally built in 1930 the Lysterfield Dam is now a great place to stop when on the Lake Circuit to enjoy the view across the watter.

Huntingdale Wetlands is a chain of rehabilitated ponds and marshes set right along the trail, designed for stormwater treatment and to support wildlife habitats. There are boardwalks and viewing areas to observe waterbirds, reeds, and the quiet open water. This natural oasis is a peaceful aspect to the otherwise busy suburban trail.

Grahams Dam is a popular riverside spot reached by a short walk upstream from Mackenzies Flat. Shallow pools and stepping‑stone crossings make it a family‑friendly destination, with swimming and picnicking along the riverbank. The dam area is one of the most accessible highlights of the gorge.

This is a beautiful place to go for a walk near Melbourne's CBD. You'll have great views of the city skyline at different points along the track. Take note that the area is closed in the lead up to the annual Australian Grand Prix.
