You Yangs National Park, Victoria, Australia

G'day Steemians I hope you're having a great day, I'd like to share with you a very special place I like to visit often, the You Yangs.

Located 40 minutes drive from Sunshine is the breath taking You Yangs the mountains that catch your eye as you head to Geelong.

You Yangs were home to the Yawangi people who are part of the Kulin Nation. Their markings are still visible today, with carvings in the stones used to catch fresh water located all over the park. These wells would have provided fresh water for the hike up the hill. Lots of Acacia seeds which means lots of damper! :)

The You Yangs are filled with animals as you can see a few in these pictures. It is also home to mountain bike paths, walking trails, BBQ facilities, a 12km scenic drive around the park and the old local school.
