Explore the '1000 Steps' Walk in the Dandenong's - Nature + Coffee & Connection
Join me to explore the stunning '1000 Steps' in the Dandenong Ranges, the first section of the Kokoda Track Memorial Walk.
For those who would like to, we can catch the train together from Southern Cross to Upper Fern Tree Gully, a chance to chat, connect, make new friends before we begin our walk.
The track starts at the Fern Tree Gully picnic grounds, the staircase winds up a steep hill along a creek through rainforest, before emerging into a clearing where we can enjoy beautiful views of Melbourne through the trees. We will complete the loop by taking the Lyrebird Track back to the picnic grounds, and will stop in at the 1000 Steps Cafe for a coffee or something to eat.
The Dandenong's is home to beautiful flora and fauna, including giant Mountain Ash trees, Rainbow Lorikeets and Lyrebirds.
The path has steep sections on both the staircase and down Lyrebird Track, and is described as moderate to challenging and suitable for reasonably fit people. The track is **3kms** and takes around **1.5 hrs** to complete.
The staircase is one way, however there are many places along the track to stop and rest. We will walk slowly, and have a rest at the clearing before heading back down. For anyone who would like to join but is not keen on the stairs, there are walking tracks to explore that run along the creek, from the Ferntree Gully Picnic Ground, with many beautiful spots to sit and relax and enjoy the environment.
**Agenda:**
I will meet you at **Southern Cross Station at 10.20am** at the Water Tower Clock
We will catch the **10.35am Belgrave train** to **Upper Fern Tree Gully**
Anyone driving can meet us at the Memorial Mates Statue, at **12pm**
We will walk the 1000 Steps, and reach the cafe around 2pm
After a coffee or something to eat we can explore the tracks at the foot of the hill,
And then catch the **3.30pm** Belgrave train back, reaching Flinders St Station at **4.30pm.**
We will keep to the times in the schedule as public transport runs to a reduced timetable on weekends.
When you RSVP please click attend on the event page, and I will be in touch about the details, I will also be available in the Event Comments on the day and add any updates there about weather conditions if needed.
