The Dandenong ranges is located in the east of Melbourne. Sherbrooke forest (located in the Dandenong Ranges) is a tall, woodland forest (wet sclerophyll forest) with a height of 60-80m and a crown cover of 30%. Sites in the National park are the ‘Hardy Gully Nature trail’ (a cool rainforest with massive eucalypt trees), ‘Margret Lester walk’ (a walk suitable for wheelchair users), ‘Coles Ridge Track’ (a wet forest) and a Picnic Ground (where you can experience native bird feeding). Some biotic features include many species of bird and a wide range of flora and fauna, such as mountain ash and tree ferns, which dominate the forest. These are reasons why families would have an interest in the park. Also Indigenous Australians would have interests in the park as they were original owners of the land and a lot of the history of the Dandenongs was created because of them. Parks Victoria have a role in managing the park and providing places where the flora and fauna are protected.

The native woodlands that once covered the Mount Lofty Ranges landscape has been reduced to about one-tenth of their former extent. This loss of habitat is currently affecting our woodland. A total population size of five-hundred is more than likely to become extinct. twenty more species will eventually disappear about one hundred and twenty almost fifty would eventually become extinct in the Mount Lofty Ranges.
