Description
From www.parks.vic.gov.au:
“The Ferntree Gully Picnic Ground is best known as the start of the 1000 steps/Kokoda Track Memorial Walk.
Take an energetic walk up the 1000 Steps from Ferntree Gully Picnic Area and learn about its poignant association with Australia’s Second World War veterans and the Kokoda Track Campaign.”
Dandenong Ranges National Park is part of an Aboriginal cultural landscape. Parks Victoria respects the deep and continuing connection that Traditional Owners have to these lands and waters, and we recognise their ongoing role in caring for Country.
