WHAT TO EXPECT

​You Yangs Regional Park is located in southern central Victoria, Australia, approximately 60 km southwest of Melbourne. The park encompasses much of the southern areas of the You Yangs, a granite range that rises from the surrounding Werribee Plains overlooking Melbourne.

The area holds a deep cultural importance for the local indigenous Aboriginal people. The name "You Yang" is derived from their language, meaning "big mountain in the middle of a plain".
