Learn about winemaking, meet food producers or pick a punnet of berries. Talk with silversmiths, glassblowers and potters and meander through the local shops.

VISITWARBURTON
WHAT TO DO IN A DAYHike to Mt Donna Buang – 12km
For experienced walkers this 7-hour return hike to Mt Donna Buang is great. Park at the base of Martyr Rd and walk up to the trail entrance at the top. It is steep but easy to follow. When you reach Donna Buang Rd, avoid the track that leads to Mt Victoria, instead turning left along Donna Buang Rd to reach Ten Mile Turntable. Continue on the walking track to the summit and return.
O’Shannassy Aqueduct Trail
There are many sections you can walk or ride along on the scenic Aqueduct Trail. Pick up the flat trail with stunning views of Warburton and the Valley at the car park at the top of Dee Rd, Millgrove. Cycle or walk the easy 6kms to Warburton township, getting off at Sussex St (no car parking) or continue for another 3kms to Yuonga Rd car park, dropping down to the town. You can also do this in the reverse order but there is a 2km steep climb from Millgrove and Warburton to the Aqueduct Trail. For a 13.6km round trip you can drive through East Warburton taking Cement Creek Rd on the left. After 500m you will drive over a narrow wooden bridge, through the tall trees and ferns to the entrance of the Trail. Walk to Warburton along the track to Yuonga Rd and return. For the more adventurous riders, you can continue from Yuonga Rd to O’Shannassy Weir along the Trail which is a 15km one way ride.
Big Pats Walk into History – 18km
Park at Big Pats Recreation Area and walk 100m along Smyth Creek Rd. The walk through the forest and picturesque creeks follows the old Federal Tramway constructed in 1933 passing what is left of two bush mill sites. The first marks the spot of the Ezards Sawmill and the second near Starlings Gap operated here until 1942. The walk takes around 3.5 hours to complete one way and is slightly challenging at times. Enjoy a picnic and visit the old winch and boiler 200m past the toilet block. You can camp at Starlings Gap if you want to continue on to the Ada Tree along the Ada and Island Trails. Refer to the Z Card Guide.
The Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail
Cycle from Lilydale to Warburton along the Warburton Rail Trail. The rail trail is a 39 km recreation trail for walkers, cyclists and horse riders that follows the former Warburton Railway line. It commences at the Lilydale Railway Station and finishes at the Waterwheel in Warburton. The Trail’s gentle gradients make it ideal for all levels of fitness. Travelling through rural farmland, vineyards, flood plains and rich grazing land you may have to give way to farmers taking stock across the trail. Cycle hire is available at Lilydale and Warburton. Refer to the Z Card Guide.
Wineries of the Warburton Highway
The Yarra Valley is recognised as one of the world’s great cool climate wine producing regions, and the Warburton Valley is home to many boutique wineries that offer intimate cellar door experiences where you can drop in for tasting, enjoy a meal or even meet the winemaker.

WARBURTON IS WHERE IT ALL BEGINS...Just one hour from Melbourne, the Warburton Valley is life at nature’s pace.
Always green, Warburton is where the Yarra River runs clear.
Relax by the river in summer, celebrate the beauty and abundance of harvest in autumn, enjoy an easy day of snow play on Mt Donna Buang in winter and reconnect with nature on one of our many forest walks in spring.
Start your visit with a delicious meal prepared with farm fresh produce, and meet the local wildlife while you enjoy the great outdoor activities the beautiful valley offers. And whether you are exploring by bike, foot or car, there’s always a fine wine or a great coffee to be found.
A hub for nature lovers, artists and musicians, Warburton’s historic township is full of unique shops and cafes, B&Bs nestled amongst the hills and the Warburton Rail Trail bringing a steady stream of cyclists.
To catch up in the Warburton Valley is to slow down.
Other towns of the Warburton Valley include:
Wandin, Seville, Woori Yallock, Launching Place, Yarra Junction, Wesburn/Millgrove, Don Valley, Gladysdale, Noojee, Powelltown, East Warburton, Reefton and McMahons Creek.
Waterwheel Visitor Information Centre
When in Warburton be sure to drop by The Waterwheel. Located at 3400 Warburton Highway, Warburton, the centre is a hub for information, art and community.
Speak to a tourism specialist seven days a week between 10am and 4pm, call 03 5966 9600 or email at [email protected]

WARBURTON TRAILS & NODESThe Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail is one of Australia’s iconic Rail Trails and meanders through the Warburton Valley. The 38km recreation trail for walkers, cyclists and horseriders follows the path of the historical railway line which was established in the 1900s to service the agricultural industry of the time.
The trail passes through a variety of sections including beautiful bushland, wineries and farmlands and users are never far from an access point at any stage. The trail is well supported by villages and cafes at multiple, conveniently-spaced points. This popular trail is shared by walkers, runners, horseriders and cyclists.
It is a combination of gravel and sealed surfaces, with a mild gradient making it suitable for all levels of riding/walking ability. Look out for kangaroos, bird life and spring wildflowers between Lilydale and Mt Evelyn, and butterflies and tree ferns on the way to Wandin. It takes approx. 4 hours to ride one way, and makes for a terrific weekend away with an overnight stay in Warburton.
Walk or ride any of the sections along the rail trail:
ROUTE DISTANCE
Lilydale — Mount Evelyn 6.9 km
Mount Evelyn — Wandin 5.4 km
Wandin — Seville 3.4 km
Seville — Killara 3.3 km
