A Victorian local has pieced together a stunning multi-day walk through the Dandenong Ranges, only 40km from Melbourne’s CBD.
The Dandenong Ranges Trail is a multiday walk that takes in all the beauty, history, nature, food, and art of this incredible region, right on the doorstep of Melbourne.
It’s expected that most people will take 4 to 7 days to complete the walk.
A major part of the ethos behind the trail is for it to be low impact, grassroots travel that will support local businesses without adding to the congestion in the hills.
Public transport runs throughout the area providing easy access. Belgrave and Lilydale are on the suburban train network and bus services all the villages, so you can get yourself to and from the trail easily without a car.
