A Local’s Guide to Warburton in the Yarra Valley
Just down the road from where I grew up, Warburton is one of the prettiest towns in the Yarra Valley. Surrounded by towering mountain ash trees and rolling hills, the laidback town is a wonderful place to visit for a weekend from Melbourne. I’ve been wanting to put together a guide to Warburton for a while, to allow more people to see some of the best of the Yarra Ranges National Park .
As Healesville’s more casual and hippy neighbour, Warburton (or locally referred to as Warby) has something for everyone wanting to breathe in the fresh air and enjoy some lush nature. With waterfalls and walking trails, and cosy cafes and wine bars, you’ll find an ideal combination for the perfect weekend away. This guide to Warburton will help you plan the perfect day in the valley according to a local.

How to Get to Warburton
Melbourne to Warburton: 75 km or 1.5 hours via M3 and Warburton Highway
Warburton is the perfect place to head for a day trip or weekend getaway from Melbourne. At just over an hour, it’s an easy drive out east of the city to the town at the foothills of the Victorian High Country. Once you hit the Warburton Highway, it’s a nice drive through small towns like Seville, Woori Yallock, Yarra Junction, Wesburn, and Millgrove.
When to Visit Warburton
Just like most of the Yarra Valley, Warburton can be visited all year round. There are reasons to visit the town in each season, depending on what you’re looking to do.
Spring and autumn are the best seasons for walking and exploring the forest. This provides the best weather for hitting the trails, which are also quieter during these months compared to summer.
Summer is by far the most popular season to visit, as this is when the sun is shining and people are looking to get out of the city. On the extra warm days, locals tend to spend it dipping their feet in the Yarra River running through town or taking the kids to the water park. You might want to leave early though, if you plan on completing any of the walks in summer as it can get quite warm.
Winter can get bitterly cold in Warburton. So much so that snow falls in the hilltops above town. For those looking for a winter wonderland, it makes for a nice destination, especially with the drive up to Mount Donna Buang to see the snow. Otherwise, it can be wet and muddy on the trails, so not quite ideal for exploring.

Best Things to Do in Warburton
No matter how you’re looking to spend your time, here are the best things to do in Warburton.
1. Explore the Redwood Forest
Possibly the most famous attraction in Warburton, the Californian Redwood Forest attracts crowds of visitors. I had to kick off this guide to Warburton with the Redwoods, because it really is unbelievable how popular it has become. Located just down Cement Creek Road, you’ll come across this cluster of over a thousand enormous Californian Redwoods planted in perfect rows.
There is a carpark right next to the forest, from where you can just wonder down into the trees. It’s a pretty impressive place to stand amongst the towering trees which make you feel incredibly small in comparison. Take your time to admire the light pouring through the canopy and the picturesque shadows that the trees create – it’s pure magic.
You’ll also find trails leading down to the back of the forest where Cement Creek runs through. This is also a pretty spot to sit and enjoy the peaceful nature.
Sadly, on weekends, this place is swarming with people. So much so that the 200 spot carpark overflows and people are parked down the Warburton Highway. I’d highly recommend either visiting mid-week or extremely early or late in the day on a weekend to avoid the crowd.
Did you know? There’s also a Redwood Forest down the Great Ocean Road, find out where here .
2. Walk to La La Falls
- Distance: 3.2 km
- Time: 1 hour
- Difficulty: Moderate
In the forest on the south side of town, La La Falls is one of the best walks in Warburton. The 3.2 km return trail begins from a small carpark off Old Warburton Road. Type La La Falls Carpark into Google Maps, and you’ll find it.
The beautiful walking track takes you through the mountain ash forest filled with ferns. It’s a moderate incline for most of the walk, until you finally reach the stone path and steps which lead to the waterfall itself. While not overly impressive, it’s appeal is that it feels like a hidden oasis amongst the trees.
It’s best viewed after decent rain, as it can slow to a trickle during the height of summer. But the trail can also get muddy, so definitely pack good walking shoes.

3. Discover the Rainforest Gallery
- Distance: Less than a kilometre
- Time: 30 minutes
- Difficulty: Easy
On the drive up to Mount Donna Buang, it’s worth stopping at this hidden gem. The Rainforest Gallery is one of the prettiest spots in Warburton, and is worth some of your time. There is a small carpark with toilets just off the side of the road.
From there, you can do the easy walk along the 40m long elevated platform, which stands 15m high above the rainforest below. Then, I highly recommend taking the stairs down onto the boardwalk that traces its way underneath the platform and around the forest in a loop.
On the way, you can admire Cement Creek and Myrtle Beech trees that are estimated to be around 300-400 years old. It’s another peaceful spot to sit amongst nature and absorb its beauty and fresh air.
The Rainforest Gallery walk is perfect for families, although the stairs can be a little steep for some.
4. Drive up to Mount Donna Buang (or hike up!)
If you continue on your drive up to Mount Donna Buang Summit , there’s another wonderful spot that is a must visit on any guide to Warburton. At an elevation of 1245 metres, one of the highest points of the Yarra Ranges National Park, the summit is a popular winter destination.
The summit area sees snow during the peak of winter, and families head up for a free winter destination where tobogganing is possible on the gentle slopes. But it’s still worth a visit at any time of year.
There is a 21 metre high tower with a viewing platform offering a panoramic view of the Victorian High Country. You can see across to Lake Mountain , Cathedral Ranges , Baw Baw National Park, Dandenong Ranges and even towards the city of Melbourne on a clear day.
There are barbecues, toilets and picnic tables, if you want to stay for a picnic lunch. However, you’ll be surprised to find that the temperature is much cooler up there than down at Warburton, even in summer.
If you’re an avid hiker like me, then you might be interested in walking to Mount Donna Buang . This is one of the toughest hikes in the Yarra Valley, so it’s definitely a must do if you like full day hikes. The 15 km return hike via Mount Victoria starts from the end of Martyr Road in Warburton. It’s a rough track, so definitely ideal to complete it outside of winter.

5. Take a stroll along the O’Shannassy Aqueduct
- Distance: 34 km
- Difficulty: Easy-moderate
The O’Shannassy Aqueduct is another opportunity to enjoy the forest around Warburton. The shared path is perfect for cyclists or those who just want a stroll. The full trail follows the O’Shannassy Aqueduct from Don Valley to East Warburton which is about 34km in total one way.
However, there are various access points where you can jump on and off and complete just a section of the trail. In Warburton, the nearest access point and carpark for the trail is Yuonga Road, just up from the Main Street.
It’s mostly flat, making it great for the whole family to enjoy the mountain ash of the valley.
6. Ride part of the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail
- Distance: 40 km
One of the original rail trails in Victoria, the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail is around 40km in full length and passes through several small towns on the way, including Wandin, Seville, Launching Place, Yarra Junction and Millgrove.
It’s a popular way to explore the Yarra Valley, as it allows you to see some of the iconic landscapes, including vineyards, farms, mountains and towering mountain ash forest.
It’s relatively gentle for much of the way, making it perfect for families or novice cyclists.
The iconic spot at the end of the trail in Warburton is Cog Bike Café . This little spot focuses on locally sourced Australian brunch style food with excellent coffee. But it also doubles as a bike hire and repair shop. This means you can turn up and decide to ride some of the trail on a whim.
7. Have lunch at Three Sugars Cafe
The most iconic cafe spot on the Main Street is Three Sugars. This cafe has been a long-standing favourite for both locals and tourists alike. They have a delicious menu filled with Aussie brunch favourites, including vegan and gluten free options.
There’s plenty of seating available, both indoor and outdoor tables with some suitable for large groups. You won’t get a bad meal at Three Sugars, which is made obvious by the crowd circling around on weekends.
8. Watch a film at the Arts Centre, Warburton
For a rainy day activity, you can head to the Arts Centre on the Main Street, which is a community centre for events and films. While it’s the home of the annual Warburton Film Festival, they also have regular and indie films available at limited times during the week and weekend.
They also showcase art exhibitions and other local events there. Check out what’s on here .

The beautiful hiking and walking trails in Warburton
The o’shannassy aqueduct trail-.
This is a 30km trail From East Warburton to Don valley. Extremely picturesque, and has multiple stop off points if you would like a shorter walk. There isn’t many hills and for the views you get it is totally worth a visit.
The beautiful Yarra River Trail
The trail is a 6km walk following along the Yarra River. It is a very picturesque and an easy walk. You also don’t need to walk the whole trail as you can make a shorter loop. The popular loop is to walk from the main area just behind the shops. You walk to the first suspension bridge and loop around back to the back of the shops again. a popular stop is the Warburton Bakery which sells a great selection of pies and cakes.
The beautiful Rainforest walk
As you arrive to the Rainforest walk you will be greeted with a 40m platform which is 15m above the ground directly above the rain forest. After you have wandered along the platform it is worth taking the rainforest walk it is a 20 minute round trip in the rainforest a fairly easy walk with some stairs but it is a very picturesque walk. You can also do this walk as you visit or return from Mt donna buang.
The beautiful Lala Falls
A moderate walk that is 3.2km return walk through the dense forest up to the famous falls.
Little and Big Peninsula tunnel
The tunnels were created during the Gold Rush when the Yarra River was diverted to make it easier for gold miners to search for gold in the river bed.Big Peninsula Tunnel is about 20 minutes from Warburton and Little peninsula tunnel is about 15 minutes from Warburton both just off Woods point Road.
Little Peninsula Tunnel
Is a short 5 minute walk (approx. 150m) from the car park. The little peninsula tunnel is approximately 30m in length. Once you have made it to the bottom of the path the path will split into 2 tracks signposted ‘tunnel viewing’ and ‘Tunnel entrance’
There is a bridge that leads to the open grass picnic area. This was closed when we were there but you can use some rocks to step across the water. To reach the opposite side of the picnic ground which also provides an open grassy picnic area.
Big Peninsula Tunnel
It is approximately 2 meters height and width and 25 meters long. From the carpark take the stairs to the bottom of the stairs where you will reach the picnic area and the swimming hole. If you take the other path at the car park you will go down the hill across the yara river along formed stepping stones to the formed path on the other side, although it’s a formed path it is quite steep down.
McMahon Creek Goldfield walk
The path leads the viewing platform of the big tunnel. There is also an option to go on walk on the McMahon Creek Goldfield walk 13km return loop with a moderate-hard track that will take approximately 4 hours to complete.
The beautiful Mount Donna Buang
Is the closest snowfield mountain to Melbourne. Make sure you check out Mount donna Buang Facebook page to check out the snow report If you want to see snow.if you come up to the mountain when it is snowing make sure you bring a toboggan or you can also hire toboggans up on the mountain.
The Lookout Tower
On the top of Mount Donna Buang is a 21m lookout tower once up the top on a clear day you will get views over Melbourne and the Yarra valley. When it has just snowed be careful when climbing up as it can be slippery.
In summer you could take a picnic up to the top of the mountain with cooler temperatures you can escape the heat on a hot summer day in Warburton. It is definitely a picturesque picnic spot and still worth the drive to the top. Also there is a number of small hikes up on the peak. Whether you visit in summer or winter it is always worth a visit too when you come to Warburton.
Cycle the Warburton to Lillydale trail (40km)
The iconic trail is 40km in length, It passes through many of the region’s prettiest little towns, including Wandin, Woori Yallock, Seville, Launching Place, Yarra Junction, Wesburn, Millgrove. You can start in Warburton town the path goes across the top of Warburton. There is also a bike hire shop next to cogs cafe in Warburton where you can hire a bike for the day.
The trail passes through vineyards, farmlands and forests, with the ever present mountains looming in the distance and background. There are also remnants of the former station platforms to stop and take photos along the way.
Carriage Café
The beginning of the path from Warburton to Launching place is along the road, but once you have got past launching place the trail follows the farmlands and vineyards. The trail is fairly easy with some steep sections its fine gravel all the way. If you have all day and you make it to Seville I would recommend going to the carriage café for a great stop for lunch.

This is also a very popular swimming hole as all the tourist staying at the caravan park go here. The large hole to the east of Warburton redwood bridge. This is a less known swimming hole and not many people will be here.
