Yarra Valley & Dandenong Ranges
Towering mountain ash, world-class pinot noir, waterfalls and Melbourne's green escape
About this region
Yarra Valley & Dandenong Ranges
The Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges form Melbourne's green hinterland — soaring mountain ash forests, cool-climate wineries, Puffing Billy steam railway and cascading waterfalls are all within an hour of the CBD. Healesville Sanctuary is one of Australia's best native wildlife parks. The Yarra Ranges National Park protects ancient rainforest gullies where lyrebirds sing in the tree ferns.
