Up Mt Dandenong: Destiny Point to SkyHigh
Show 1 more photo Show 7 more photos Hide additional photos
Continuing or short road trip, we drove from one side of Mount Dandenong at Destiny Point Cafe, up the road to the other side, looking out from SkyHigh. It’s not the superhero school from the Sky High movie, or a high school at all (which I thought it was 🤦♂️). But it does have a great view all the way to Melbourne city in the distance.
From up here, we feel like huge giants!
$10 for parking on the weekend, which was pretty packed due to the Oxfam walk passing through there. Up to 87km walking, including 2km vertical (one support person told me).
Then a beautiful drive home through the prehistoric looking fern trees and giant trees.
Charging
Our EV (like most) regenerates energy on downhill runs. Since our home in Emerald is slightly less elevated than Mount Dandenong, we used almost no net “fuel” on the homeward journey. At home, we just plugged in and walked away, while 100% solar power topped up our car.
Loving these pics and words about the area. The last time I went through there - about 11 years ago - it was gorgeous scenery.
