Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden

Giant eucalypts tower over shady lawns and brilliant flowerbeds at this botanic garden on the eastern ridge of Mount Dandenong, which is planted with over 15,000 rhododendrons and 12,000 azaleas. The best time to see the rhododendrons – the garden's pride and joy – is from September to November. There's an on-site cafe.
