Trees of the Dandenongs

Visiting the Dandenongs

Early one March morning in 2008 I took my son on a day trip to the Dandenong Mountains just east of Melbourne, Victoria. It was a crisp, cool morning, with clear skies and clean air. We left the house just as the sun started to rise and explored a very beautiful part of Victoria.

We travelled east along Burwood Highway, turned right onto the C412 then right again on the winding Selby-Aura Road. Old Menzies-Creek Rd then took us all the way to the Cardinia Reservoir where we stopped a while at Henley Park.
