One Tree Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

One Tree Hill is a scenic lookout and picnic area set among tall eucalypt forest with views across the surrounding hills. During World War II, the hill was used as a communications and observation site, reflecting its elevated position and strategic views across the ranges. Today, the site offers with picnic tables, sheltered seating, toilets, a small car park, and access to nearby walking tracks. It's a peaceful spot to rest after the steep climb through ferns, gums, and blackwoods.

Top of the 1000 Steps

Highlight • Trail

From this spot at the summit of the Kokoda Memorial Walk, the trail emerges from the rainforest into a clearing with plenty of benches, offering a welcome rest after the steep staircase climb. There are filtered views toward Melbourne through the trees, a quiet vantage point above the Dandenong Ranges. It’s a natural pause point before either looping down or soaking in the views after the long ascent.

Belleview Terrace track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Belview Terrace is a beautiful forest path that winds through the cool, shaded bushland of Sherbrooke Forest. Connecting to a network of tracks, the loop passes beneath towering mountain ash and through lush fern gullies typical of this part of the park. As you walk, the quiet forest setting and dense canopy create a peaceful, enclosed atmosphere, with birdsong and the occasional movement of native wildlife adding to the sense of immersion in one of the Dandenong Ranges’ most distinctive forest environments.
