Olinda Collective

Reviewed By Shihoko - Melbourne, Australia

This was by far my favourite shop on our recent trip to the Dandenongs. Made by local artists, there is a interesting collection of wares on offer. It has a boutique market feel, and sectioned throughout are differing items of clothing, jewellery, artwork, plants, homewares etc. I was gifted by a friend a super cute gingerbread man badge, just in time for xmas. Definitely worth a visit if you are interested in unique shopping options.

Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden

The Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden is Victoria's premier cool-climate garden. With breathtaking views over the Yarra Valley, the garden features important collections of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and more, in a setting of native and exotic trees. Seasonal changes ensure the garden is a year-round delight. Meander down to Serenity Point where the sculpted landscape opens to stunning views. A network of paths criss-cross the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden and highlight the ever-changing seasonal landscape. Bring a picnic basket and set up on one of the lawns within the gardens for a scenic day out. Ride the 'Garden Explorer' - a fee-for-service people mover which provides a 25-minute guided tour of the garden.

This visit I was able to see the Rhododendrons and azaleas at their best. The gardens and grounds are beautifully kept, loved the Proteas. Enjoyable just strolling around the large area. A reasonable walking ability is required due to downhill, uphill walking. Restaurant on site as is a wonderful gift shop, especially if looking for a gift for an overseas friend. Toilet on site.
