This beautiful site features a 40 metre long observation platform which takes you into the rainforest canopy 15 metres above the ground in the Yarra Ranges National Park near Warburton. A 350 metre long elevated walkway takes you through the Rainforest Gallery where you will see magnificent 65 metre tall old growth Mountain Ash trees, ancient Myrtle Beech trees (many of which could be up to 300 to 400 years old), ferns, mosses and other plants that make up this damp and diverse rainforest environment.

There are several viewing spots along the walkway where you can pause and enjoy the sounds of Cement Creek flowing past on its journey to the Yarra River.

Woori Yallock, Launching Place and Don Valley

Woori Yallock is located in the centre of the Yarra Valley about 18 km east of Lilydale and the same distance west of Warburton. Healesville is a similar distance to the north. The confluence of the Yarra River and one of its major tributaries, Woori Yallock Creek, is about halfway between ‘Woori’ and Healesville.

The district of Wandin presents something of a puzzle to newcomers – the shopping centre on the Warburton Highway is at Wandin North, there are a church and a school at Wandin Yallock, and a hall and sports facilities at Wandin East, but no actual ‘Wandin’.

The Warburton Golf and Sporting Club is situated at the entrance to the township of Warburton, in Dammans Rd. This picturesque and challenging course provides you with amazing views, spectacular holes, particularly the 18th, and flowing water from the Ythan Creek.
