You Yangs Regional Park

Highlight • Forest

You Yangs Regional Park covers about 1,500 hectares and protects a unique range of granite peaks that rise abruptly from the flat volcanic plains between Melbourne and Geelong. There are walking tracks, mountain bike networks, and plenty of scenic lookouts on rocky outcrops set among dry eucalypt forest. Its unusual geology and elevated viewpoints make it a well-known destination for exploring this beautiful area.

Flinders Peak Walk

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Flinders Peak Walk is a short but relatively steep route that climbs from the Turntable car park to the summit of Flinders Peak. The track follows a well-formed path through dry eucalypt woodland before transitioning to exposed granite steps near the top. Though it’s only about 3 kilometres return, the steady climb and rocky sections make it a moderately challenging walk.

East Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

East Track winds through open eucalypt woodland on the eastern side of the You Yangs, following a gently undulating path across sandy soil and rocky ground shaped by the park’s granite hills. Twisted gums grow among scattered boulders and low native shrubs, creating the dry forest landscape typical of this part of the park. This quieter section of the trail offers a relaxed bushwalking experience, with several connecting tracks that lead deeper into the northern ranges.

Northern Range Walk

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Northern Range Walk runs along the quieter slopes of the You Yangs, weaving through dry woodland and low granite hills. The trail rises and falls gently along the range, passing rocky outcrops and open forest typical of the park’s rugged landscape. With fewer visitors than the summit trails, this walk highlights the natural bushland and beautiful rolling hills that characterise the northern side of the You Yangs.

West Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

West Track has quite a few viewpoints, as it weaves in and out of the forest and past large boulders. You may see rock climbers out bouldering here as well.

West Track Lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

This super short spur trail takes bushwalkers to an awesome viewpoint of the Werribee Plains. This patchwork of farmland, fields, and woods is easy to see here, on this metal viewing platform high up on a granite boulder.

Turntable Trailhead

Highlight • Parking

The trail is flanked by tall round boulders, some of which stand on end as statues. There is a restroom at the carpark and access to a half dozen different trails.
