Yarra Valley
Less than an hour from Melbourne is the rich fertile Yarra Valley which produces some of the world's best wines. The area is dotted with fruit orchards, market gardens, vineyards and flower farms. Beside it, rising to a height of approx 550 metres are the lush Dandenong Ranges with their famous forest walks, fern glades and tall mountain ash trees. A short distance to the east can be found the Upper Yarra Valley extending to Warburton and beyond where the mountain streams tumble their way over rocks and cascades to the start of the famous Yarra River which gives the Yarra Valley its name.Yarra Valley Accommodation
