You Yangs Regional Park

The park encompasses much of the southern areas of the You Yangs, a granite range that rises from the Werribee Plains, 60 km southwest of Melbourne.

[1] Situated within the traditional boundaries of the Wathawurrung (Wathaurong/Wada Wurrung) Aboriginal tribal lands and once home to the Yawangi Baluk (local clan whose territory extended to Port Philip), the You Yangs (Wurdi-Yawang) shares historical significance with Australians of non-indigenous origin.

[2] A road known as Great Circle Drive, encircles Flinders Peak, enabling drivers, cyclists and walkers to navigate the undulating terrain, from flat forested areas to hilly scenic views.

Sandy Creek Road also passes through the park's western area, providing a link between Lara and Balliang.

[1] The park has a well-developed network of mountain bike trails, ranging from easy (green) to two downhill tracks for experts (double diamond).
