Warburton
Australia's Most Beautiful Town |
|
|
Warburton is a modest little town
which we think has a big claim as Australia's most beautiful town.
t is situated
in the narrow Yarra River Valley and flanked on all sides by towering
mountains with the Yarra River (still as a mountain
stream) flowing swiftly through the middle of town.
The Warburton
Waterwheel Visitor Information Centre (pictured to the right) is
situated on the high side of the main street right in the centre of
Warburton township.
Behind the Information Centre is the
popular Warburton Rail Trail.
The Visitor Information Centre has a good
range of maps and guide books for the Yarra Valley and surrounding
mountain country to choose from. |
|
The Warburton Caravan &
Camping Park is more than just another Caravan Park.
Situated on the banks of the
Yarra River with lovely mountain scenery, the park is an ideal family
camping venue.
The Centenary Trail (an
extension of the Warburton Rail Trail) passes through the park and is an
ideal easy walking and cycling track. |

This view of
the Yarra River is along the Centenary Trail near the Warburton Caravan
and Camping Park where the trail emerges from bushland at the Woods Point
Road.
The fern-lined Centenary Trail
passes through an attractive patch of bushland.

Travel Tip |
| There
are many riverside walking tracks in Warburton township. Foot bridges and
road bridges enable easy access to both sides of the river. For a walk
with a difference, try the Centenary Trail through the Caravan Park.
Locate the trail at the main highway road bridge across the Yarra River
immediately on the township side of the Acheron Way turnoff. Follow the
trail along the riverside parkland and through the caravan park, staying
close to the river. Once past the caravan park, the trail enters a patch
of bushland. After a while, as the bush and the quiet sounds of the river
begin to dominate, you will get the feeling you could be in some remote
forest, far away from civilisation. Unfortunately, after about 1 kilometre
of remote bushwalking, you will emerge at the Woods Point Road. |
