Villages of Mt Dandenong - Mount Dandenong (VIC)

Shmuel This is a really beautiful place with walking and hiking trails. Natural spring with crystal clear fresh water, creek and stream. its a really lovely and beautiful place, fresh air and open space. My family has been coming here ritualistically since I was a kid.

Wai Yin Lai The Alfred Nicholas Memorial Gardens are one of my favourite places. The boathouse is picturesque, the lake peaceful. The gardens are lovely all year round, different flowers our in different seasons. Highly recommend. If theres a downside, it would be signage. Ad there is a 5pm closing time, better signs and distances to exit would be helpful. Maybe even a map at main points like the rhododendron gardens further up the hill.

Tony B Churchill National Park is a hidden gem in metro south eastern Melbourne. I highly recommend going for a walk around to discover varied landscape. The walk I did would normally take around 40 minutes (I stopped a lot to take in the scenery) and it started just near the main entrance gate.

Dan Morey Its a pretty easy walk, few wash outs and a little climb to get to the boulders. But well worth it for the view and well as the boulders themselves

Pan Cardenas Billy is always keen for a good rub in the sun. 10/10 would detour just to scratch those cheeks. He’s also ok with pups!

Lauren Watson A lovely little space to listen to the flowing water, sit peacefully and watch the birds (we saw Purple Swamphens, Eurasian Coots, Pacific Black Ducks, and a lone Little Pied Cormorant).

Linden Danks A wonderful group who helped me research the history of my home and its owners. I rang and made an appointment, which gave them time to do some reseach before I got there. Many thanks to all
