Mount Dandenong Travel Guide: 31 reviews and 91 photos

The dense forest

See the region's finest sassafras and mountain ash, some of them up to 200 years old.

Amazing bird life

Kookaburra

Amazing birds like this one are in abundance in national parks in Australia. As they are usually not disturbed or threatened by humans, the chance of seeing these from close is very high.

Friendly birds

Parakeets

These birds just fly out of the trees and will come and peck grains or food from your hand. It is an amazing feeling!

Beware! Don't feed them bread or food they will not find in nature - it could be dangerous for them!
