Sightseeing
Enter Osprey Rd off Ridge Rd, Mount Dandenong and follow the track. Truly the best view, better than at Sky High and it's free! Go just before dusk, bring a rug to sit on and settle in to watch Melbourne light up. Magic.

A place of beauty and tranquility, due both to the natural setting and the mystical sculptures half hidden among ferns along the pathways. It is a place for quiet reflection and for contemplation of the essence of the vision of William Ricketts. Now managed by Parks Victoria, entry is free (but please donate!)

The famous '1000 steps'. Enter the car park at the start of Mount Dandenong Tourist Road just after its turn off from Burwood Hwy, Upper Ferntree Gully. Go early, it gets crowded. This is a challenging, steep hike, take it easy.
