This
very
green
and
lush
picnic
area
is
nestled
in
a
valley
towards
the
base
of
the
Dandenong
mountains.
It
is
set
on
2
levels
both
of
which
have
ample
parking.
The
lower
toilet
facilities
were
closed
when
I
visited,
but
the
upper
ones
(shown
in
my
pic’s)
was
open.
They
were
spacious
and
clean.
The
upper
grounds
are
on
the
site
of
an
old
homestead
only
some
parts
of
which
remain.
For
a
picnic
area
that
is
not
well
know,
it
really
has
a
beautifully
maintained
grassy
area
with
lots
of
tables,
and
even
some
fireplaces
(with
differing
levels
of
usability,
and
all
requiring
wood
burning).
There
are
a
variety
of
walks
and
you
can
choose
the
level
of
difficulty.
The
ones
around
the
upper
level
are
truly
beautiful
with
lots
of
ferns,
flowers
and
a
bubbling
creek.
One
negative
is
the
unsealed,
one-lane
road
that
leads
to
the
picnic
area
–
but
if
you
go
slowly,
you
will
be
OK.
But
it
is
a
bit
rough
in
places
and
there
are
some
hairpin
turns
where
you
need
to
slow
down.
The
other
pesky
thing
are
the
mosquitoes,
so
go
prepared.
You
go
there
to
eat,
not
be
eaten!
So,
in
summary,
not
the
easiest
place
to
get
to,
but
well
worth
the
trip.
If
there
was
only
one
spot
I
had
to
take
a
visitor
to
introduce
them
to
typical
fern
gullies,
and
temperate
rain
forest,
this
is
where
I
would
take
them.
With
insect
repellent.
