	Yarra River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The river's source is a series of swamps in the upper reaches of the Yarra Ranges National Park, directly to the east of the Baw Baw plateau a thickly forested subalpine park, which are entirely closed-off to all except the employees of Melbourne Water.
		The Upper Yarra Dam, one of a number of dams in the Yarra Catchment that supply most of Melbourne's water, is the furthest upstream point on the river visible to the general public (though the dam itself is closed off).
		Downstream of Warburton, the Yarra Valley gradually opens out and farms begin to appear, including beef and dairy farms, and by the town of Woori Yallock and the river's turn north increasingly large areas are covered by vineyards, forming the Yarra Valley wine region.
