🤠 THE ADVENTURE
Often called the “lungs of Melbourne” the Dandenong Ranges is a rainforest getaway on Melbourne's doorstep, characterised by their dense rainforest and their abundant wildlife like wallabies, lyrebirds, wombats and the Powerful Owl.
Throughout the day we will find steep volcanic hills covered in stands of the world's tallest flowering tree, the Mountain Ash.
We will gradually climb to the Observatory where we will admire the astonishing view of Melbourne city and make our way back through the diverse vegetation.
