Heritage
Yarrambat Park was once frequented by the local aboriginal people - the Wurundjeri. The word Yarrambat means 'High Hill'.
In the 1840's Tancks Corner (Yarrambat) was settled by squatters who grazed cattle and sheep.
Gold mining began in the Plenty area in the 1850's. However it was not the discovery of gold that was important to the area but the increased need for meat and agricultural produce.
