Location & Access

The Dandenong Ranges are easily accessible from Melbourne’s CBD, approximately a 45-minute to 1-hour drive depending on your specific destination within the ranges. Major access routes include the Eastern Freeway and EastLink. For groups, convenient drop-off and pick-up points are available at various trailheads and popular spots like Olinda village or the Puffing Billy station precinct, though specific access can vary based on the exact trail or attraction you plan to visit. We recommend coordinating with your coach hire provider to identify the most suitable and accessible locations for your group’s needs. Parking for coaches is available at designated areas, but pre-booking or confirmation is often advised, especially during peak seasons or weekends, which see significant visitor numbers.

The best times for group visits are typically weekdays outside of school holidays to avoid crowds, though the ranges are beautiful year-round. Weekends offer a vibrant atmosphere but require more careful planning for access and parking.
