One of the most sought after elements that lead so many people to vacation in and visit Australia is the incredible scenery and natural wonders to be found. During your visit you will be able to find all kinds of national parks and historic sites to keep you entertained and excited by the country down under. Take for example, the Dandenong Ranges. Most of the ranges are part of the Dandenong National Park. Those guests were aren't necessarily expert climbers or hikers are going to be relieved to learn that the Dandenong Ranges are relatively low and fairly easy to hike and explore. If you happen to be something of a rock nut or a fan of science, it might interest you to know that the ranges are predominantly made up of Devonian dacite and rhyodacite. Mountain ridges have produced incredibly deep streams to see and of course, photograph. The streams might not excite you quite as much as the temperate rain forests and fern gullies found in these mountains as well.
You will find that there is more to the Dandenong Ranges than just hiking, picture taking, and natural scenery. This mountain range is also home to the Puffing Billy Railway. It might be of further interest to note that there are several locations in the Dandenong Ranges that provide Devonshire teas in the afternoon as well. Who would have thought tea, scones, and clotted cream would go so well with the great outdoors? Check it out for yourself; it's sure to be an experience to remember.
