Hi everyone, I'm going to the Dandenong Ranges next Saturday and I'm interested how long it will take me to walk from the entrance to the boathouse and back. I'm also interested in how long it should take me to walk the 1,000 steps going up only.

Hello, this is dependent on your level of fitness and how many times you stop to take in the beautiful gardens. I would say a good 20mins to reach the lake at the bottom of the hill where the picturesque boat shed is if you have moderate health and fitness. There are two ways to reach there - the gravel winding road which has a moderate incline the second way to go up or down is via some stairs on a small walkway and hand rail for most part. Coming back up takes much longer because the incline is surprisingly long. I recommend the stairs to go down and follow the winding path back up. Ensure you have comfortable shoes and though you could take a pram - I wouldn’t unless it’s an all terrain
Hi everyone, Just wondering if its worth visiting the garden is winter to get good photos? The Autumn photos look amazing but wasn't sure about winter.

Shirley, in my opinion this garden and all its surrounding are worth visiting any time of the year. In winter, if you are lucky, good chance to have snow there... Enjoy
