Sherbrooke Forest

Sights, sounds and smells of the bush

Sherbrooke Road
Sherbrooke
Melbourne, VIC 3789

Nearest Train: One and a half hour drive from central Melbourne

This popular spot is part of the beautiful Dandenong Ranges National Park. As well as its pristine beauty, it is well-known for its lyrebirds, whose brilliant tail feathers and talent for mimicry have made it an Australian household name. Being shaded from the harsh summer sun and with mountain paths never too far from tearooms, restaurants and craft shops, the Forest is a popular walking spot for families. An added delight in the picnic grounds is the chance to feed the colourful and very friendly (or just greedy?) native birds that will sit on your head, hands and shoulders and obligingly pose for photos.
