Wirrawilla Rainforest Walk

Peaceful short boardwalk, they have finished upgrading the boardwalk as this walk was blocked off last time we went there. Suitable for prams and wheelchairs. There are junction points where there are wider platforms to rest and absorb the lovely quiet atmosphere and the sound of the running water from the creek. Popular with families and small children so you'll have to pick your quiet moments!

Magic beauty of nature. Rainforest, babbling brooks, tree ferns, moss, ancient and giant ash trees and all accessible by board walk. And then great forest trails through the mountain ash for runs, hikes and bikes.

I came upon this walk unexpectedly while driving through the hills around Healesville. I was so pleased that I decided to see it. It's not a long walk, however, it's a wonderful experience that feels quite magical. The boardwalk is sturdy and wide - big enough for families to safely visit. It takes you in a loop on a meandering path over forest streams, into the deep shadows under tall tree ferns, and with the canopy of even taller forest trees high above. The forest streams and rivulets were in full flow when I visited in May. There are information signs as well, giving details about the species of plants and the rainforest ecosystem. It was also great to be able to see all of this after heavy rains, without getting my feet wet or muddy!

Great little circuit walk. Accessible by wheelchair & walking frames. Not that strenuous. Fantastic little ecosystem. Dirt road access is in good condition & well maintained. Highly recommend.

This place is pretty magical and very accessible with a well maintained board walk around the most popular walk. The sign said 45 mins but it felt a lot quicker. If you stop and read the signs and take your time, it may take closer to 45 mins. Came on a public holiday and there were quite a few people (hard to park down the road) but wasn't packed / over crowded. Great that it is dog friendly - on leash only. We also explored a bit of the Myrtle Gully Track which was more what you'd expect from a trial (no board walk, more inclines), but less scenic than the Wirrawilla Rainforest Walk which was along the creek. Careful of leeches! I found 3 small ones on me.

I did the long 10km loop walk. Maybe a little ambitious on my part. It had everything. Bush food to snack on, lyrebird, wombat droppings. Ill go again.

Not far from main road. No need for 4wd to reach here. Well maintained platform for rainforest viewing. Car park space available. Small area with roof to snack, No bbq area. Can complete the shortest circuit within an hour. Recommended for families with small kids as well.

We loved our time at Wirrawilla Rainforest Walk! Our 2.5 year old and 3.5 year old were able to walk (pretty much) the whole trail. It's a nice easy walk for adults with some amazing flora (for fans of ferns like me haha)!The air is soooo crisp and rejuventaing!Car park was full but not crazy at 12pm on a Sunday. We had a picnic at one of 2 picnic tables and then spent the afternoon at Healesville Sanctuary.

This is really a beautiful, peaceful, and natural place with streams of water. There are 3 routes and we took the shortest one which has a ramp to walk on as we are not experienced walkers. It is the best route if you have kids. The directions were very clear and easy. Photographers will really enjoy taking pictures of their companions and the nature if it's a sunny day. Moreover, we didn't witness any reptile. There is a bench outside with the shade and have toilet facility as well. Parking is just enough. Lastly, Do not forget to take the mosquito repellent.

Beautiful place. Easy wak for all abilities. Awesome drive on the way. About 4 km is gravel road.
