Flinders Peak

3.3 km return

4 h to 7 h

Starting from Turntable carpark, You Yangs Regional Park, this walk takes you to Flinders Peak and back via a single track involving 450 steps (one way). You'll be rewarded with 360-degree views of the surrounding peaks and volcanic plains when you get to the top, which also is the highest point in the park. Melbourne, Geelong and Port Phillip are visible from here. Besides the breathtaking views, the wildlife is also worth the effort: koalas, kangaroos and 200+ bird species can be seen here. The car park at the start has BBQs, picnic tables and toilets. You can see the Bunjil Geoglyph from the lookout before the top as well. This sculpture depicts the Wathuroung people's creator spirit (Bunjil). The top can be windy due to the lack of trees. Come early to avoid the crowd. Let us begin by acknowledging the Wadawurrung people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
