Sight-seeing

Only 65 km north of Melbourne, Kinglake National Park lies on the slopes of the Great Dividing Range, offering dramatic views of the Melbourne skyline, Port Phillip Bay, the Yarra Valley and across to the You Yangs.

This is a good spot, not far from Melbourne, to go camping, enjoy a bushwalk or have a picnic.

Nature revival

Since the intense 2009 fires in Kinglake National Park, many plants adapted to fire are flourishing. In spring, keep an eye out for wildflowers in bloom, while winter is a good time to discover fungi, mosses and lichens.

Opening times - Sugarloaf Block

The Sugarloaf Block is open daily. During daylight savings, gates open 9.00am to 6.00pm. During non-daylight savings times, the gates open 9.00am to 5.00pm.
