Compact, well-kept arboretum in the Dandenong foothills with curated collections of native and exotic trees, a small lake with reflections, mature avenues, seasonal blossoms and good birdlife. Best at sunrise or golden hour for soft light and reflections; autumn for foliage and spring for blossoms. Weekday mornings have fewer visitors. Free entry, on-site parking on Dorset Rd; most paths are flat and partially wheelchair accessible. Close to Ferntree Gully village for refreshments.
