What you’ll do

The Dandenong Ranges are probably the most popular day trip from Melbourne given it's close proximity to Melbourne but also it's incredible viewpoints, colourful gardens, forest hikes and of course the iconic Puffing Billy Railway!

This weekend itinerary takes in some of the Dandenong Ranges most beautiful gardens along with some of my favourite viewpoints and eateries!

Start your day off with a delicious brunch and then head to some of the most magical gardens in the Dandenong Ranges - some may be a bit more busy than others so I've put a couple more options that are great alternatives and more quiet!
