Warby Range State Park

Warby Range State Park

Warby Range State Park is a Victorian state park just north of Glenrowan. It is 14.6 square kilometres (3,610 acre) in area, and named after Ben Warby, a pastoralist who settled in the area in 1844.

The 400 m rocky escarpments are believed to have been used by the Kelly gang as a lookout.

There is one camping ground, "Whenams".

In 2002, the park was expanded to include the state forest of Killawarra as part of a program of protecting Box-Ironbark forests. [http://www.nre.vic.gov.au/CA256F310024B628/0/EE53E20E4F7CFC15CA25728F0019086E/$File/WARBY.pdf]
