    Mt Donna Buang in the Yarra Ranges National park is the only free snow play area near Melbourne. It's got some great toboggan runs for the kids and a large general snow play area. No skiing available which is great because it keeps the place free of Melbourne supporters.

    Brilliant road for a motorbike ride with the crew or a just a day trip getaway with the family, friends or a loved one. Lots of special places to stop by on the way for coffee and cake, and views through the valley to take your breath away.

    It’s always beautiful to drive among the woods. But make sure to carry a jacket with you even though it’s warm. Temperature can fluctuate any time.

    recently had the pleasure of visiting a park in Melbourne, and I must say, the walking view was truly enchanting. The first thing that struck me was the lush greenery that envelops you as you enter. The towering trees provide ample shade, making it a perfect escape on a sunny day. As I started my walk along the well-maintained paths, I was captivated by the diverse flora that lines the way, from colorful native Australian flowers to exotic plants from around the world.

    The forest really blow your mind. The tree trunks are big & the smell of pine wood enhancing the freshness feeling in the forest. A scenic route to enjoy the nature

    All the walking tracks were very over grown and some were even impossible to find the path at all! Please put some money into improving your facilities, very disappointing.

    This is such a very beautiful area! I love driving through the Yarra Ranges National Park. There are many areas to explore. The tree ferns plus the towering eucalyptus trees make it feel like a place from back in time, when dinosaurs roamed! I also like the way the roads have areas to pull over, to allow other drivers past when I want to drive more slowly, and where I can also take photos.

    Walked to the Mt. Riddell summit. Not too hard, 3 he return trip. Saw a wallaby and a few colourful birds. Some nice views along the way, but lots of trees at the top.

    Stunning drive to Lake mountain from Melbourne. Black spur road is the best drive when it’s raining.

    Victoria might be the smallest state in Victoria, we are never short of nice places to go to and places to hike! We just hiked up to Mt Riddell from Heavesville side of entrance on Wednesday. It was just so enchanting and there are so many paths! One can see Mt St Leonard and Mt Tanglefoot, and others from here! Just lovely!!
