About the Dandenongs

The Dandenong Ranges are richly endowed with some of the most beautiful countryside in Victoria. Towering trees, verdant valleys, fern forests, parks & gardens, are just a slice of the spectacular scenery on offer.

An enjoyable introduction is a ride on Puffing Billy, Australia's oldest steam railway, which travels through the thick forests & lush fern-filled gullies of the Dandenongs. Also in the Dandenongs is the William Ricketts Sanctuary. Set discreetly among rocks and fern gardens you'll find kiln-fired clay sculptures of Aboriginal figures - works inspired by Ricketts' time living among Aboriginal people in central Australia. There's also the Alfred Nicholas Gardens which is known for its birdlife & stunning blend of native & exotic trees plus bushwalks, waterfalls & a picturesque lake.
