yarra ranges regional museum

Yarra Ranges Regional Museum, Lilydale is a treasure trove of local history where families can explore the permanent Connections Exhibit, which highlights the region’s rich past—from Dame Nellie Melba and the farming and natural resources of the area to the story of William Barak and the Corranderk Aboriginal Station, as well as more recent events like the COVID lockdown. While the exhibits are best suited for older children, the museum offers engaging school holiday programs and a charming gift shop stocked with classic toys, making it a great educational outing for the whole family.
