The Warburton area is a popular tourist destination, with picturesque mountain views of the surrounding hills. The Yarra River meanders through the township and is lined with walking tracks and beautiful picnic spots. The township is 20 minutes drive from Mount Donna Buang, which is occasionally snow-covered in the winter. Restaurants and cafés, river walks, snow-play, fishing, and wineries make up the local attractions.
Throughout Victoria, Warburton is often cited as one of the states 'natural wonders', due to its peaceful and serene surroundings. Many organisations including Travel Victoria advocate not only the beauty of the township but also the many natural amenities contained e.g. swimming in the local Yarra River. Trout fishing is popular in the Yarra River.

I love how green it is. I really like the shot with the red flowers.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful area! How nice to have such greenery and a unpoluted river so close to a major metropolis.
ReplyDeleteI like these photos Nick. They show our river at its best.
ReplyDeleteHi Nick,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful nature photos!
Greenery and forest are very few and less in quantity, you should go at such places to enjoy your weekend with family or friends that is really very refreshing moment for you.
