Dandenong Ranges National Park

A forested national park in the Dandenong Ranges with Mountain Ash trees, fern gullies, waterfalls, walking trails and places for family picnics. Families can listen for lyrebirds and look for wallabies while exploring rainforest tracks; sightings are not guaranteed. Picnic grounds offer parking, tables and shade, but access varies between sites and many trails are steep or uneven rather than pram-friendly. Check the chosen walk and current closures before visiting. Entry is free, and the park closes during extreme fire danger or severe weather.
