Warrandyte (including Warrandyte State Park)
Famous artists colony in the hills to the north of Melbourne
Warrandyte is now technically an outer suburb of Melbourne, located 30 km from the city centre and 112 m above sea-level. However, being situated on the Yarra River and surrounded by the remnant natural bushland of Warrandyte State Park, it retains an element of the rural village and a number of craftspeople and artists have taken up residence in the area which has something of a reputation for its conservationist values.
