Dandenong Ranges National Park is a land of rolling hills, steeply weathered valleys, and gullies covered in thick temperate rainforest. The forest itself consists predominantly of tall mountain ash trees towering over natural fern gullies. These forests provide a home for 130 native bird species including kookaburras, cockatoos, crimson rosellas, and superb lyrebirds. Mammals include swamp wallabies, wombats, echidnas, sugar gliders, platypuses, and 26 others.
