A vital catchment for Melbourne's water supply, Yarra Ranges National Park is home to forests of mountain ash, rainforest and fern gullies, and the endangered Leadbeater's Possum. Stretching from Healesville to Warburton, from the headwaters of the Yarra to Marysville, this national park was declared in 1995.
