The 1000 Steps in Dandenong Ranges is a very popular trekking spot among the fitness fanatics across Melbourne. We started our trip from the Southern Cross Railway Station in Melbourne CBD and got down at Upper Ferntree Gully station at the Dandenong Ranges. You get to choose from three trails the Lyrebird Fitness Track, Kokoda Track, Ramblers Walk. We walked about 5-6KM(including the up and down distance from the railway station) and it took us around 2:30 hours in total. This vlog is about exploring the 1000 steps and the other trails in Dandenong Ranges.
The Kokoda Track in Dandenong Ranges is created in memory of the soldiers who fought and died on the real Kokoda Trail in Papua New Guinea, during World War II. There are plaques across the trail which contains useful information regarding the track. Do stop and read these which will help you with a better understanding as well as catch your breath.
We started our trek by choosing the Kokoda Track and then went further forward to the Picnic spot on the top before you started our descent via the Lyrebird fitness track.
