Yarra Ranges National Park is located in the southeastern region of Australia, in the Victoria Central Highlands, 107 kilometres northeast of Melbourne. Established in 1995 and managed by the statutory authority Parks Victoria, the carbon-rich forest is home to the Mountain Ash Tree, one of the tallest tree species in the world. A wide diversity of fauna make their home across the park's 76,003 hectares, including kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, platypi and 120 species of native birds. The Yarra, O'Shaunessy and Taggerty rivers flow through the Park, and with several reservoirs form an important source of drinking water for Melbourne. Among the conservation challenges facing Yarra Ranges National Park are climate change and invasive species of weeds.
