Sassafras Gully Loop

10,000 Birds

I would recommend this if you are going to be out and about and most stations have regular trains all day including Sundays. If you are going to a small place you do need to check that you are not getting on a train with “limited stops” or you will end up back-tracking! These parrots are 43cm, so rather large!

Ferntree Gully-Dandenong Ranges National Park

10,000 Birds

There was no sound of the bird calling, but we came across several pairs busy turning over the leaf litter to find food. We then decided to challenge ourselves to the Lyrebird Track, followed by the Link Track and Bellview Terrace to complete a loop to return to the entrance and then the train station.
