Overview
The Dandenongs are often referred to as the lungs of Melbourne, with tall forests, deep gullies, and a myriad of tracks hugging the side of this 600m high range. Come out with us to explore the Dandenongs and walk on some of the best local trails. This hike explores tracks along the ‘front’ of the Dandenongs and includes short, steep tracks to test your legs. Don’t worry, there is a similar amount of downhill to recover, plus some wonderful lookout opportunities. This close-to-Melbourne walk will definitely test the legs and lungs with just over 1000m elevation gain and is a very worthy day walk.
