Nestled amongst rolling hills and verdant forests, Dewhurst is a tiny town about an hour’s drive from Melbourne’s hustle and bustle. Dewhurst is a place where time seems to slow down. The town is a place where nature lovers come to escape the noise and pollution of the city, breathe in the fresh air, and simply relax. The population of Dewhurst, a bit over 150 in 2021, is quite small, but it’s not the number of people that define this place, but the spirit and charm that are ingrained in its history. Dewhurst has a long history, with its origins dating back more than 100 years. It was settled in the late 19th century. There’s a general store for the essentials, a handful of B&Bs where you can stay, and if you need a break from the natural beauty, the Dandenong Ranges are just a short distance away. You can also find the Cardinia Reservoir and Emerald Lake Park nearby, featuring beautiful picnic areas and walking trails. The sprawling Cardinia Reservoir is a welcome sight for those who want to escape the crowded city. Looking out over the reservoir, you have a clear view of Mount Dandenong.
