Or, when looking at openstreetmap.org, click the "Query features" arrow, 
then click somewhere in the Grampians, for example 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/query?lat=-37.20902&lon=142.51812
Under Enclosing features, click on "Protected Area Grampians National 
Park" which takes you to https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2703380
You can click "View History" at the bottom of the relation page.

To see a nicely formatted table of the changes you can put this relation 
ID into OSM Deep History which takes you to 
https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/relation/2703380
Here we can see that it was initially natural=wood, which was removed on 
15/1/2013, restored on 8/11/2015, and removed again on 12/12/2018. This 
most recent changeset can be viewed at 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/65393733 . Before making changes 
read the change comment and discussion as you aren't the first to query 
this change.

Regards,
Kim
