Dandenong Ranges National ParkCovering 3215 hectares, the park plays an important role in protecting a population of famous lyrebirds and other fauna, as well as protecting the forests and fern gullies of the Ranges.
George Tindale Memorial GardensThe George Tindale Memorial Garden, only a one hour drive from Melbourne's city centre, is a unique collection of exotic plants set beneath a canopy of large mountain ash. It has become a popular destination for Melburnians and tourists alike.
Pirianda GardensDesigned to take advantage of the steep slopes, the 11 hectare terraced gardens of Pirianda are distinctive for their combination of botanically important trees, shrubs and perennials with an overstorey of large blackwoods and mountain ash towering over the natural fern gullies.
William Ricketts SanctuarySituated in the Dandenongs in a ferny glade, William Ricketts Sanctuary is a place of beauty and tranquility, due both to the natural setting and the mystical sculptures half hidden among ferns along the pathways.
