Frederick Wachter Reserve - Keysborough (VIC)

Jake Cini Great to take your reactive dog. Large pathways and dogs should be on leash. The wide pathways allow you to see if there are any other dogs around. Lots of shade and space.

Shirley Cao Great place to get close encounters with kangaroos and koalas! You can feed kangaroos and wallabies within the park. Really recommend the koala encounter if youre interested in cuddling a koala. You can gently touch the koalas back and they are so friendly and cute! Very knowledgeable and friendly staff.

alex passmore Delightful house and gardens; the former home of the artist Sir Daryl Lindsay and author Joan Lindsay. The volunteer guides gave a lively and interesting background to their lives and work in this house.

Pat Chung A principal focus of the Kokoda Track Memorial Walkway is on the sacrifices made by the Australian soldiers during key battles which took place in 1942-43 along the Kokoda Track and other locations in Papua New Guinea. The Kokoda Track is a place of historical significance. Trekking the trail in Dandenong, including challenging the 1000 steps, is not just for doing exercises but also to remember and pay tribute to the soldiers who fought in the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea during World War II. Obviously, the 1000 steps is the focus of Kokoda Track Memorial Walk. It gives us a chance to experience the endurance of Australian soldiers who fought against Japanese in a very challenging jungle terrain of the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea. The campaign was a crucial point in stopping the Japanese advance towards Australia, so why it was so important and why this Memorial Walk was established to commemorate the battle. I reckon this is a very meaningful trek that offers good education to our next generation to know the historical background of one of the significant battles in World War II. As this 1000 steps is a challenge, so its really quite hard to finish. With some rest, I think 45 to 50 minutes is enough to go uphill of the 1000 steps (only one way allowed to go uphill). After arrived to the finish point of 1000 steps, there is nothing to see. You can return to the start point by going downhill from another road which is quite long, needs at least 35 to 40 minutes walking. There are car park spaces, education centre, toilets, BBQ stove, shelters, kids playground and a decent Cafe for buying breakfast / lunch / coffee. What a nice park indeed!

Chris Foster-Ramsay A great place for families. Young and old. Lots of open space and a great place that’s safe for kids to ride their bikes and experience the outdoors. On busy days byo camping chairs are advisable. But lots of open space and shade to spread yourselves out. Well thought out park design with lots of touch, feel and life experiences to offer. BYO snacks too.

Lyndon Voigt Just off to the side of part of the Dandenong creek trail, it is a nice little piece of bush separate from the hustle and bustle of the shared bike/walking track.

Ivan Jakovic BBQ’s always clean nice playground for the kids and the park is dog friendly
