Yarra Ranges is a national park in Victoria, Australia, 92 km east of Melbourne. It covers the headwaters of the Yarra River in the ranges themselves and several water catchments for Melbourne''s domestic water supply. Whilst the park was established only in 1995, the area has been protected for a century to protect Melbourne''s water. Almost all of the park is closed-off to visitors for this reason, however the park is one of the most popular day trip destinations for Melbourne residents. However, logging occurs in much of the forest, including some of the water catchment areas. The park contains approximately 40 different mammal species, including the endangered Leadbeater''s Possum and 120 species of birds. The bird species include the Sooty Owl, Powerful Owl, Barking Owl, Pink Robin, Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo, Australian King-Parrot, Grey Goshawk and Crimson Rosella.
