The shortest bush walk is under 1km, and the longest hiking track (from Mt Dandenong to Upper Ferntree Gully) is approximately 20 km one-way. It is a fantastic hike that covers a variety of terrain.
One of the most used walking tracks is the 1000 Steps. It is an incredibly popular hiking trail, which is a memorial to the Kokoda Track in PNG. You can catch public transport from Melbourne, hike up the 1000 steps and then continue to the villages of the Dandenong Ranges, either walking or by bus.
