Located on the hillside overlooking Riddells Creek, this open forest features a rich variety of groundcover plants. Covering 120 hectares, the area includes 15kms of walking tracks and is locally known as the Shone & Scholz Land. The name 'Barrm Birrm' is derived from the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung language: 'Barrm' meaning 'root of the Yam Daisy' and 'Birrm' means 'many of'. These roots were once a staple food of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung, the Traditional Custodians of the land.
The majority of Barrm Birrm is privately owned. Visitors are encouraged to stay on designated walking tracks. Vehicle access is restricted to land managers and emergency services only.
Barrm Birrm is located at the corner of Gap Road and Royal Parade, Riddells Creek, and is next to the Riddells Creek Cemetery.
