Everything about The Dandenong Ranges totally explained
The
Dandenong Ranges are a set of low mountain ranges, rising to 633 metres at
Mount Dandenong, east of
Melbourne,
Victoria,
Australia.
Geography
Consisting predominantly of
Devonian dacite and rhyodacite, the topography consists of a series of ridges dissected by deeply-cut streams. Sheltered gullies in the south of the range are home to temperate rainforest, fern gullies and Mountain Ash forest
Eucalyptus regnans, whereas the drier ridges and exposed northern slopes are covered by dry
sclerophyll forest of
stringybarks and box. This area is highly prone to
bushfires, which have included the infamous
Ash Wednesday bushfires.
Devonshire teas (tea taken with scones, clotted cream, and jam, and primarily eaten as an afternoon snack) can be found throughout the ranges. A large part of the Dandenongs is covered by the
Dandenong Ranges National Park. The Ranges are also the home of the popular
Puffing Billy Railway.
