Kooyoora State Park is the traditional country of the Dja Dja Wurrung Nation, known as Guyura, meaning "mountain of light." View natural granite rock cavities modified or used by ancestors to catch and store fresh water, trees bearing historical scars where bark was safely removed to make canoes, shields, or containers. High points like Melville Caves served as historic meeting places, lookouts, and shelters.
Melville Caves also holds the legend of bushranger Captain Melville who is said to have taken refuge here.
Kooyoora State Park is an ideal place for a picnic, biking, hiking or a weekend camping trip only two hours from Melbourne.
