Villages of Mt Dandenong - Mount Dandenong,VIC

Ruwi MK Lovely place! It’s actually called “great gardens of Dandenong”!! Very scenic. On a clear day you can see the view of the skies, mountains and the city. Great place for family photographs. For wedding photographers you got to take permission. There are trails if you’ll like you explore the area. Parking is available

HC S Small town style

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.

Artur Kats Have a lunch here enjoying the view, then go to Sky High for some coffee (entrance fee applies), and then head to the Dandenon Ranges Botanical Gardens (closes at 5pm) for a walk. Perfect plan for a good time.

Heiko Griessbach Only one word: stunning! Go there. Go now!

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.

Shyamal .R.Swamy Great place to go be among trees. Beautiful. Its free entry. Roam as you wish. Also a great spot for a photoshoot.

loveleen Kaur Beautiful park with stunning views over the reservoir! Great walking trails, especially the Kangaroo Viewing Trail where we saw heaps of kangaroos in the evening. Plenty of picnic spots with BBQs and clean toilets. Perfect for a relaxing day out in nature. Just remember to bring your own rubbish bags as there are no bins. Highly recommend for families or anyone wanting a peaceful escape close to Melbourne.

Arun Chandran From the carpark, there is a nice lookout with views towards Cardinia reservoir, and across the road is one of the best view of the Yarra valley. Be sure to pick a good day to visit. There are a few picnic tables available. Outsiders are rarely aware of this location.

Anita Harris Thoroughly beautiful, particularly in Autumn. A variety of trails head down, up and around the park (be prepared for a moderate uphill walk to return to the carpark) and it is all beautiful. In fact a few spots are simply stunning. Paths and occasional stairs were in good condition when I visited, and there was some terrific fungi here and there. There are toilets (including a disabled toilet), a medium sized gravel carpark and a small gazebo. If there hasnt been too much rain, the ground toward the top may be nice for a picnic, and there is a picnic table near the entry point.
