Warby-Ovens National Park
Warby-Ovens National Park is a 14,655-hectare protected area in northeastern Victoria, Australia, situated approximately 10 kilometres west of Wangaratta and 240 kilometres northeast of Melbourne. The park occupies the traditional lands of the Bangerang clan of the Yorta Yorta Nation and derives its name from the Warby Ranges, named in honour of pastoralist Ben Warby who settled in the area in 1844, and the Ovens River that flows through the region. The park sits within the Northern Inland Slopes bioregion, encompassing the granite, metamorphic and sedimentary lower foothills north of the Great Dividing Range. Originally reserved as a state park in 1978, the area was elevated to national park status in June 2010, becoming one of Victoria's newer protected areas. The park forms part of the larger Warby-Chiltern Box-Ironbark Important Bird Area, recognized internationally for its significance in conserving threatened woodland bird species and the distinctive Box-Ironbark forest ecosystem.
