Park a car at the end of Lower Homestead Road and the other at the Stonehouse Cafe. Then simply follow the river!
The park is 24km north-east of Melbourne. Access is mainly via three sealed roads: Warrandyte Road, Research-Warrandyte Road and Ringwood-Warrandyte Road (Melways pages 23 & 24). Park at the end of Lower Homestead Rd, Wonga Park. Watch out for Kangaroos, they are everywhere. The track begins from the carpark.

I highly recommend this hike. Hiking along side the Yarra river is very pleasant and there are plenty of river side spots to rest and take in the river. Not an overly hard hike but well worth the effort.
