Get some perspective and escape the noise and pressures of the concrete jungle. Less than 1 hour (from the Melbourne CBD) you can be SkyHigh - on the uppermost reach of the Dandenong Ranges, amid cool fern glades and lush towering (native) forest, looking at the big picture, from the Mornington Peninsula across the majestic sweep of Port Phillip Bay, surrounded by Melbourne's growing urban fringes, to the You Yangs on the southern horizon.
After sunset the southern sky, brilliant in the clear mountain night, is imitated by a spectacular carpet of city light. First established as a survey point in 1861 this historic area, which has recently undergone a lavish and sympathetic redevelopment, affords a unique overview of Greater Melbourne.
Enjoy the unparalleled vista from the SkyHigh Bistro or fire up a public barbecue; spread a rug and picnic on the elevated viewing terrace. SkyHigh has something for the whole family including:-
* English garden
* Australiana Tree
* Percy Possums House
* Giant's Chair
* Adventurous SkyHigh Maze
* Trail walks in the Dandenong Ranges National Park
* Wishing Tree
* Arthur Streaton Monument
* Viewing Binoculars
* Cake and coffee
Take in the big picture from the summit of the Dandenong Ranges. Sweeping views from the Mornington Peninsula to Port Phillip Bay then across the city landscape to the You Yangs in the south. The bistro offers good family dinners or high tea and you can’t get much higher than this!
