Deep in the heart of the Yarra Ranges, just a short drive from the riverside town of Warburton, lies a literal "forest of giants." The Cement Creek Redwood Forest is one of Victoria's most surreal and photogenic natural wonders, offering a cathedral-like atmosphere that feels worlds away from the Australian bush. Skywalk Experience: Step onto the 40-metre elevated observation platform, perched 15 metres above the forest floor, and stand eye-level with the canopy of magnificent 65-metre-tall Mountain Ash and ancient Myrtle Beech trees. Forest Floor Loop: Descend to the boardwalk to wander among lush ferns and mosses while listening to the tranquil sounds of Cement Creek flowing past. Accessible Beauty: The main observation deck is fully accessible for wheelchairs and strollers, ensuring everyone can enjoy the breathtaking treetop views.

Hop on a tractor tour to taste exotic fruits straight from the trees, feed friendly farm animals, crack fresh macadamias and sample house-made preserves. After your tour, relax at Peach Café with farm-style meals or take home a piece of the orchard from our nursery. With over 450 fruit varieties, every visit is a new adventure in the heart of the Yarra Valley.

Nestled in the heart of the Yarra Valley, Healesville Sanctuary is a haven for native Australian wildlife and conservation.

With immersive encounters and a commitment to protecting over 1,500 animals annually, the Sanctuary offers a truly meaningful experience for visitors of all ages.
