If you are headed up to Mount Dandenong, one of the "features" listed in the Sky High Mt. Dandenong brochure is the Plane Crash site from Australian Airways in 1937.
After a 1.5km hike through some fairly rocky pathways, we came upon the memorial site, and really all it was was this plaque.
If you are spending a few days in the Dandenongs, this might make it onto your list of activities, but if you are going for just a day trip, stick to the more beaten path and skip this one.

Another Chilly trip out of Melbourne!
Sarah and I took a day out to head up to Mount Dandenong, which is located in Dandenong Ranges National Park, 35 km east of Melbourne. Just like our weekend excursion the week before to Phillip...
A feeling as much as a destination
There’s something magic about the Dandenong Ranges. When you encounter your first copse of mountain ash there’s a sense of pervading calm that comes over you, exacerbated by the tree ferns that soon...
See the region's finest sassafras and mountain ash, some of them up to 200 years old.
This is going to be my Dandenong Ranges page
Now I am living in the foothills of the beautiful Dandenong Ranges I want to take full advantage of the attractions. As I visit Olinda and Emerald and Sassafras I will put up a few pics on those pages...
