One of the best walks in the Olinda Section of the Dandenong Ranges National Park is to the Lookout Rock.
I visited this interesting geographical feature on February 21, 2009. My 4.5 km return route was along gated Mathias Rd, starting at the junction with Falls Rd, then into Golf Course Track and to the Rock.
There are glorious views from Golf Course Track and Mathias Rd across the Upper Yarra Valley to the Yarra Ranges.
The Rock, adjacent to the Olinda Golf Course, has been a favourite destination for walkers since the early 1900s. In those years, there were good panoramas from the Rock, but these are now obscured by tall timber regrowth.
The Hamer Arboretum borders Mathias Rd.
See the Photos of my trip, which include two historical images of the Rock as it was in the year 1910!
