This is one of Victoria's Premier Tourist Destinations.

Enjoy some perspective and look over the noise and pressures of the concrete jungle of Melbourne's CBD you left behind. Less than 10 minutes from Country Place SkyHigh also enjoys the uppermost reach of the Dandenong Ranges, amid cool fern glades and lush towering native forest.

From here you can look 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 lights.

First established as a survey point in 1861 this historic area, which has undergone a lavish and sympathetic redevelopment, affords a unique overview of Greater Melbourne. SkyHigh has something for all including, an exquisite English garden, Adventurous SkyHigh Maze and links to trail walks in the Dandenong Ranges National Park and is open 7 days a week including public holidays.
