Is there anything more evocative of a relaxing day out than the smell of eucalyptus and the sound of kookaburras? Here at Valley Picnic Ground, nestled in the Dandenong Ranges National Park, you can experience that quintessential Australian charm. Valley Picnic Ground is a peaceful haven where you can enjoy the simple pleasures of nature. Imagine yourself surrounded by towering Mountain Ash trees, their leaves filtering the sunlight. The air is fresh and crisp. A gentle breeze rustles the leaves as you spread out your picnic blanket. Valley Picnic Ground is known for its well-maintained walking trails, perfect for a leisurely stroll. One such trail is the Valley Picnic Circuit Walk, a 3km loop that winds through the lush forest.
