Dandenong Ranges Information Centre

I stared at the Dandenong Ranges Information Centre for years before I actually went in. I used to stand at Upper Gully train station waiting for the 732 Box Hill bus to arrive to take me home and the Info Centre would always be sitting right there in front of me. It never occurred to me to walk in and kill some time.
The day I did go in I met some friendly people who all got involved in a conversation about things to do and places to see in the Dandenongs. I left filled with ideas about Olinda and Sassafras and considering taking a ride on Puffing Billy. I also left with a lot of brochures and a card with the centre’s number on it should I have any more questions while on the road. It’s safe to say that they were extremely helpful.
The centre is open every single day from 9 to 5 and caters not just for tourists but for locals. I found out about a lot of things that I had no idea existed despite living in the area my entire life.
Check them out to make some groovy weekend plans that you will remember for a long, long time.
