Woolrich Lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

Woolrich Lookout is a lovely spot with views across the forested slopes of the Dandenong Ranges, with layers of trees extending into the distance. There is a small gazebo-style shelter here, making it an ideal place to relax and take in the view. Though it sits just off the track, it still feels like a quiet, tucked-away stop along the loop.

R.J. Hamer Arboretum

Highlight • Natural

R.J. Hamer Arboretum is a beautifully landscaped reserve that showcases a diverse collection of native and exotic trees, planted from the 1970s onward. Walking tracks wind through the plantings to a lookout with sweeping views across the Yarra Valley and surrounding ranges. There are interpretive signs throughout the grounds, and several picnic areas are ideal for a scenic lunch spot.
