Little more than an hour's drive from Melbourne takes you to the state's richest wildflower habitat. The Brisbane Ranges National Park is about 80km west of Melbourne and about 30km north of Geelong. Popular areas of the park are accessible from the Geelong-Ballan Road and the Staughton Vale Road out of Anakie.
