Werribee Gorge

The Werribee Gorge State Park was proclaimed in 1975 to preserve the native flora and fauna, since most of the surrounding land had long been cleared for farming. The main feature of the Park is a magnificent gorge carved out of the ancient sea floor by the Werribee River over millions of years. The Gorge offers spectacular views and a wide diversity of wildlife including Echidnas, Koalas, Kangaroos, Eagles, Peregrine Falcons and Platypus.
