Mmm, sweet, juicy and ripe for the picking - that would be the oodles of delicious and fresh cherries from CherryHill Orchards. Delight in the picking of cherries at the picturesque and rolling landscape of the orchards.
Pick your cherries then you pay by the kilo. Be careful you don't overpick as you'll pay the price.
With views stretching out over the east of the Dandenong Ranges, RJ Hamer Arboretum is a beautiful place to take a quiet, peaceful stroll along the many walking tracks and roads of the Arboretum or sit and take in the tranquil beauty and stunning scenery. Either way, it's a pretty day trip to get away from the hustle and bustle of Melbourne life. Arboretum means ‘a place for trees’ in Latin and its spectacular trees are a definite highlight here.
These picturesque gardens (formerly the National Rhododendron Garden) play host to vibrant coloured blooms of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, cherries and daffodils. See them at their best when they're in season and full of life.
The gardens are also a picnic haven for families enjoying the sunshine and colours of this free national park. Picnic tables and chairs are dotted around or just throw down your picnic rug and enjoy the views.
