Distance

16km

Overview

The Dandenongs is often referred to as the Lungs of Melbourne, with tall forests, deep gullies and a myriad of tracks to be explored all hugging the side of this 600m high range. Come out with us and explore the side of the Dandenongs often visible from so many areas of Melbourne and walk on some of the best local trails. Today’s hike will explore lots of tracks along the ‘frontside’ of the Dandenongs and include short and steep tracks to test your uphill and 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 a touch over 1000m vertical metres and is a very worthy day walk.

We are passionate about taking you off the beaten track, creating positive experiences and memories that will last a lifetime. We are committed to ensuring that our day trips, weekends or tours are unique, attainable, well researched, affordable and tailored for the enjoyment of small groups. Our adventures cater for people from many walks of life, age groups and motivations. We aim to give you the very best of what nature and the outdoors has to offer, leaving you with a smile from ear to ear and a sense of accomplishment.
