Take a ride in the Puffing Billy steam engine while it puffs along its narrow-gauge track..Explore the vast national parks and gardens, enjoy the blooms of the National Rhododendron Gardens and don’t forget to explore the Dandenong Ranges National Park.
Find time to see amazing places like Sherbrooke Forest, Doongalla Homestead and One Tree Hill. You will be able to admire the sculptures hidden among ferns in the William Ricketts Sanctuary as well as accomplish the thousand Steps at the fascinating Kokoda Walk.
You can reach the Dandenong Ranges by travelling along the Eastern Freeway and continue onto Eastlink tollway to Burwood Highway and then onto Upper Ferntree Gully. An alternative route will be to travel through Montrose to the Mount Dandenong Tourist Road through Kalorama and Mount Dandenong to Olinda.
Visit to Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges is well worth it where you can explore the scenic beauty of this region.
