The highest point of the Dandenong Ranges is Mt Dandenong, which stands at 633 metres high. Various forest parks and beautiful gardens make up the spectacular Dandenong Ranges. These include the Alfred Nicholas Memorial Gardens, Doongalla Forest, Ferntree Gully National Park, National Rhododendron Gardens, Sherbrooke Forest, and William Ricketts Sanctuary.
There are some fabulous walks around the Ferntree Gully National Park and some fantastic wildlife to see. For entertainment you should head to the William Ricketts Sanctuary, where you can look at displays of his work and also watch concerts.
A great way to see the Dandenongs is on 'Puffing Billy' a steam train that puffs its way around the beautiful landscape. There are also several relaxing places to stay including hotel and apartment style accommodation within the Dandenongs, where you can escape from everything.
