11.01.2022 Because you can't visit us in the Dandenong Ranges at the moment we thought over the coming weeks we would share with you all our favourite places to explore in the hills! First up lets take a virtual walk through the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Gardens. The Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden (formerly the National Rhododendron Garden) is host to brilliantly coloured blooms of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, cherries and daffodils. Seasonal changes ensure the gardens are a deli...ght all year around. When not in bloom, you can still soak in the beauty of rich bark textures, seed capsules, foliage shapes and beautiful fragrance as you stroll through the grounds. https://www.parks.vic.gov.au//dandenong-ranges-botanic-gar

09.01.2022 Let's Take A Virtual Walk Through The Alfred Nicholas Gardens! Situated on the gorgeous Sherbrooke Road in the Dandenong Ranges, is home to the highly regarded Alfred Nicholas Gardens. Synonymous with the Dandenong Ranges, The Alfred Nicholas Gardens are known for their picturesque waterfalls, water features and its iconic ornamental lake and boathouse.... Alfred Nicholas and his brother George developed the Aspro painkiller formula, becoming the first person to officially patent the formula after it was lost from general use after the First World War. He purchased the land in 1929 and proceeded to purchase subsequent land around it, extending the size of the property to 13 acres. The Burnham Beeches Estate is an Art Deco masterpiece, designed for Nicholas in the early thirties, and is somewhat likened to the lines of an ocean liner. Nicholas traveled to many parts of Victoria and overseas to look for established trees to populate his gardens, designing it with a lake, rock pools, and ornamental designs. He hired an expert gardener to help with the creation of his prized garden. The gardens itself are now owned and operated by Parks Victoria. Significant restorations were undertaken in the late 1990s, transforming and recreating the spectacular location that has become the Alfred Nicholas gardens that we know today. A variety of native birds may be seen in the gardens including king parrots and colourful rosellas. There are ducks in the lake and kookaburras can often be heard in the treetops. There is a blend of native and exotic trees including mountain ash, ginkgoes, maples and liquid ambers. Colour is provided throughout the year by a variety of flowering exotic shrubs, bulbs and trees.

08.01.2022 An abundance of winter sunshine in the hills today! Featuring Fernview on Falls in Olinda https://vrgetaways.com.au/accommodation/kalorama/fernview/

06.01.2022 There's something so magical about waterfalls. They're roaring and powerful, while simultaneously serene and calming. And you will find a pretty little one deep in the Sherbrooke Forest! The Sherbrooke Falls walk meanders through a forest containing the tallest flowering hardwood in the world, the Mountain Ash (Eucalytus regnans) with an understorey of a variety of fern species. The Sherbrooke area provides habitat for the Suburb Lyrebird, which can often be seen or heard within the forest. The falls are most inspiring after rain when the Sherbrooke Creek cascades over rocky outcrops. Explore the other waterfalls in our region https://visitdandenongranges.com.au//six-wonderful-waterfa

01.01.2022 Let's Take A Virtual Walk Through William Ricketts Sanctuary Hidden away in a dense inlet along the winding Mt Dandenong Tourist Road is the internationally renowned William Ricketts Sanctuary. The sanctuary is not only one the Dandenong’s more iconic experiences, but one of the most inspiring and tranquil places on the mountain. A quiet gentleman who had spent much time living with aboriginal communities in central Australia, William Ricketts created the sanctuary as a pla...ce for quiet reflection and replenishing the spirit. He believed that all Australians should adopt Aboriginal philosophies, respecting the spirituality of Mother Earth and all things in the natural world. Some of his works throughout the grounds also depict his feelings on the takeover and devastation of white man into the natural environment. Within the sanctuary grounds, there are over 90 different sculptures depicting the Aboriginal people engaging with the earth in a pure forest setting. Carved into rocks and tree trunks that dot the paths that flow throughout the property, the themes in his artwork reflect his philosophies of connections with human, nature and the earth.
