It´s very close to Melbourne city. You can go there by train. When I travel, I try to combine visiting the cities and nature. I´ve read about Dandenong Ranges National Park in my guide book and we also met in the bar some Italian guy who is living in Melbourne and asked him about some tips for a trip outside of Mebourne and he said we should go to Dandenong.
A story
I have no idea how many kilometres we walked that day. The thing is that I don´t use maps that often when I travel so sometimes I just walk and don´t worry too much. This was the case. Now I know better. In Australia the distances are just incredible with combination of no people you can get in trouble when you get lost, it is getting dark and you hear the scarry sound of animals. We did. But also we were a bit lucky so there was a happy ending. I never told my brother that there was a moment when I felt really stressful about our situation but I kept it to myself.
What means NP Dandedong for me?
- special, amazing and beautiful animals
- special birds whose sound is like elephant
- we got lost
- peaceful place
- no people
A few photos
The beginning of our jorney - the view from the train.
Something like a metro card - just for buses. To be honest I really didn´t get this whole Myki system.
We are entering the park.
Do you see?
When I saw the bus stop I felt happy. But then we found out that we don´t know where we are because it wasn´t written there. So, we waited, then we got on the bus and believed that we are on the right way back to Melbourne.
It was quite an adventure.
