Set aside some time for a scenic drive through the Dandenong Ranges, from Monbulk to Belgrave. Along the way, you’ll find charming towns, lush gardens and plenty of reasons to stop and explore.

Start in Monbulk, a hidden gem steeped in history. Its name comes from an Aboriginal word meaning ‘hiding place in the hill’ - a fitting description for this tucked-away village.

Then wind your way uphill to Belgrave, a lively hub for locals and visitors exploring the Dandenong Ranges. Home to the iconic Puffing Billy, as well as beautiful parks, gardens and delicious places to eat, it’s the perfect place to finish your drive.
