Even though it was overcast and a little chilly, it was good to clear out the cobwebs and head for the hills. Travelling along Canterbury Road is fairly dull, but all that is forgotten after you reach Monbulk. The Mount Dandenong Tourist Road is exactly that ... and taking it slow and relaxing is the way to go.
The Mount Dandenong Observatory (officially renamed SkyHigh), now re-opened, is a good place to stop and check-out the view. The entrance sign mentions a $2 fee for motorbike entry to the car park, but the attendant just waved me through (thanks !). I caught up with Cara and Tara who had lunch at the restaurant (I was running late ... as always). Sounds like the buffet lunch is pretty ordinary ... especially for $35, I suppose you are really paying for the view.
The gardens are nice to walk around. The (not-so-secret ... there are signposts !) Secret Garden was closed. The maze is fun for kids and the hedges need to grow some more (it hasn't been established for very long) ... but, for $6, you might want to re-consider.
