Warby-Ovens National Park

Warby-Ovens National Park is a protected area in north-eastern Victoria, Australia, conserving parts of the Warby Range and adjacent river corridors. It protects native box-ironbark woodland and granite outcrops characteristic of the region.

The park provides walking trails, ridge lookouts and areas for birdwatching and nature observation. Granite outcrops and woodlands offer short walks and opportunities to see native plants and woodland bird species.

Areas now in the national park were previously managed as state forest and reserves; the park brings those parcels together to provide coordinated conservation of native woodland and geological features. Management focuses on habitat protection and low-impact recreation.

The park is located in north-eastern Victoria near regional centres such as Wangaratta, sitting within a rural landscape of farms and native ranges.
