Mount Beenak, Mountain summit in Yarra Ranges, Australia

Mount Beenak is a summit in the Yarra Ranges of southeastern Victoria that rises 745 meters above sea level. It sits within the Great Dividing Range and commands views across the surrounding mountainous terrain.

Logging in the summit area left it bare of forest in July 2013, according to records of the mountain. The clearing removed the tree cover that had stood on the peak, changing what visitors see at the top. The summit stands 745 m above sea level, about 65 km from Melbourne.

Mount Beenak lies in the Yarra Ranges, about 19 km east of Cockatoo, the nearest larger settlement. Its name is shared with Mount Beenak Road, the access route to the fire track that leads to the summit. The surrounding forest is mainly evergreen broadleaf woodland.

The summit is reached via a gated fire access track that starts from Mount Beenak Road with parking available at marked spots. The route is straightforward and parking areas are clearly signed for visitor convenience.

The summit was left bare of forest by extensive logging in July 2013, so visitors now find an open top with wide views over the Yarra Valley, the Latrobe Valley and the Central Highlands ranges.
