Yellingbo Lake - VIC

The Woori Yallock Creek sub-catchment has been recognised by all levels of government and the general community for its natural values. The portion of the Catchment in the vicinity of Yellingbo Nature Conservation Reserve (YNCR) that adjoins private landholdings and other bushland remnants on private and public land further upstream are of particular biodiversity significance. The Helmeted Honeyeater, Leadbeater’s Possum and a host of other rare and threatened plants and animals inhabit the remnant bushland in this populated rural area just 50km from Melbourne.

The reserve area is sign-posted and fenced-off and anglers are asked not to enter the reserve along the creek channel.

No recreational activities or disturbance of the land or creek are permitted within the reserve. This is the last remaining population of this bird species and must be left undisturbed.
