Healesville

Healesville is a town in Victoria, Australia, 52 km north-east from Melbourne's central business district. Its Local Government Area is the Shire of Yarra Ranges. At the 2006 Census, Healesville had a population of 6567.

Healesville is situated on the Watts River, a tributary of the Yarra River.

Healesville is well known for the Healesville Sanctuary-a nature park with hundreds of native Australian animals displayed in a semi-open natural setting and an active platypus breeding program.

Schools in Healesville include the 125 year-old Healesville Primary School, St Bridgids Catholic primary school, the Healesville High School, and Worawa College, an Aboriginal school whose former students include noted AFL player David Wirrpanda. Much of what is now Healesville lies on the ancestral land of the Wurundjeri people, and the Coranderrk mission station, set up in 1863, is located just south of the main township.

Industries in and around Healesville include sawmilling, horticulture, tourism and more recently viticulture.
