Flinders Peak Walk

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Flinders Peak Walk is a short but relatively steep route that climbs from the Turntable car park to the summit of Flinders Peak. The track follows a well-formed path through dry eucalypt woodland before transitioning to exposed granite steps near the top. Though it’s only about 3 kilometres return, the steady climb and rocky sections make it a moderately challenging walk.

You Yangs Regional Park

Highlight • Forest

You Yangs Regional Park covers about 1,500 hectares and protects a unique range of granite peaks that rise abruptly from the flat volcanic plains between Melbourne and Geelong. There are walking tracks, mountain bike networks, and plenty of scenic lookouts on rocky outcrops set among dry eucalypt forest. Its unusual geology and elevated viewpoints make it a well-known destination for exploring this beautiful area.

Flinders Peak

Highlight • Summit

Flinders Peak is the highest point in the You Yangs, rising to about 319 metres above sea level above the surrounding volcanic plains west of Melbourne. The granite summit offers sweeping views across the Werribee Plains, Port Phillip Bay, and on clear days, as far as Melbourne’s skyline. Its exposed rock formations and open lookout make it one of the most popular viewpoints in You Yangs Regional Park.
