WHAT TO EXPECT

Join us for a scenic walk through some of the most picturesque sections of Dandenong Ranges National Park. The route will lead us to the Kalorama Lookout, offering breath-taking views of the valley below, and continue on to Sky High for even more spectacular vistas. Afterward, you can treat yourself to a refreshing drink, coffee, or a delightful ice cream.

The park is teeming with native Australian wildlife, including kangaroos, wallabies, cockatoos, and kookaburras. On a fortunate day, you might even catch a glimpse of the elusive lyrebird.

This trek is of moderate difficulty, but it is open to participants but please be aware you need a reasonable level of fitness.
