Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Yarra Ranges National Park adventure.
Enjoy epic views of mountains, forests, and vineyards in the Yarra Ranges.
Whether you’re road-tripping along the Black Spur Drive or Lady Talbot Drive, cycling through the Redwood Forest, or hiking to natural waterfalls—glorious views are guaranteed in the Yarra Ranges National Park. Stop off to admire Victoria’s tallest Mountain Ash trees, spot lyrebirds and king parrots in the rainforest, or picnic amid blooming wildflowers. Adrenaline junkies are well-catered for, too. Go rock climbing and hand gliding at Ben Cairn, mountain biking around Lake Mountain, or cross-country skiing on the slopes of Mount Donna Buang. There are no campgrounds in the park, but campers will find plenty of options in the surrounding villages.
Four seasons of outdoor adventures await in the Yarra Ranges. In spring and summer, wildflowers brighten up the hillsides, especially around Lake Mountain and the Redwoods, while autumn brings fall foliage views and harvest time in the neighbouring Yarra Valley vineyards. Snowfall is common in winter, so swap your hiking boots for skis or go tobogganing and head to Mount Donna Buang—Melbourne’s closest winter sports destination.
