Please be careful up on the Mountain today. While we have not been told chains are required (always good to have along!) or of other restrictions, it's always best to know your vehicle and your driving capacity and be prepared for any condition. Take care and have fun!

Thanks Mountain Tucker!

Careful if you head up the mountain. Thanks Mountain Tucker for your wonderful snow reports!

No rain in the valley, so that means no snow on Mount Donna Buang. Looking sunny out there today though, so should be lovely views up top. Be sure to drive carefully as the roads may be slippery with icy patches.

Stop by the Visitor Centre for other ideas of places to visit - and warm up by our fire! Plus we have two beautiful exhibitions to visit, with local group ARTrageous Painters and artist Jerry Osadczuk on display through next Sunday.

Open daily 10am to 4pm. We hope you enjoy your visit to the Upper Yarra Valley!

No snow on Mt Donna Buang (as expected), but still beautiful here in Warburton and the Upper Yarra Valley. Plus you can say hi to Mountain Tucker out at the Redwood Forest again today and get a hot beverage, donut or other treat for your walk. Please be sure to clean up after yourselves when in our parks and public spaces. We hope you enjoy the Upper Yarra Valley and all she has to offer!

Our Story

This is the Official Site for tourism and more in the Warburton Valley. We are a not-for-profit, membership-based organisation that receives no government funding and relies on our local businesses and volunteers to bring you accurate, timely and friendly information to make your stay amazing.

The Waterwheel in the township of Warburton provides tourist information, an Artists Gallery, an Indoor Forest/Environment Centre and showcases locally handmade goods.

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.

To catch up in the Warburton Valley is to slow down.
