Longridge Park Camp

Aptly named, the long ridge through this park offers spectacular and breathtaking views of the Yarra River and surrounds. Eastern Grey Kangaroos are frequently seen in the area and a quiet visitor may also spot platypus playing in the river. Cushioned between the Yarra River and the surrounding slopes, the river flats have been established as the perfect camping retreat.

Flora & FaunaEnjoy the open space and watch out for the other creatures with which you are sharing the campsite. Wedge-tailed Eagles, Koalas, Eastern Grey Kangaroos, Platypus and a myriad of birdlife frequent the area. Sugar Gliders, Tawny Frogmouth, wombats, owls, frogs, bats, Ringtail Possums and Brushtail Possums are also found around Longridge Camp.

The vegetation types dominating Longridge Park and its surrounding area include Yellow Box, Manna Gum, Burgan and Weeping Grass. Blackwood, Hop Goodenia and Sward Tussock-Grass are other types which can be found.
