The Dandenong Ranges is most definitely one of my favourite places in all of Victoria and an absolute must for overseas traveller's in particular.

A nice place to go to get away from the city/suburbs. Driving windy roads dwarfed by tall beautiful trees giving lovely cool shade and lots of little hidden villages to explore along the way. Great place to view Melbourne city at sunset and watch the city lights go on.
