There are several interesting walking tracks in the Kallista area, in the eastern section of the Dandenong Ranges NP.
Access is from small car parks along the Kallista to Emerald Rd, such as at Cook's Corner and Grant's Picnic Ground, some 30 km from the Melbourne CBD.
On Saturday afternoon May 16 2009 I explored some of these tracks, on a 5 km hike which took me along Hall's Track and Neumann's Track, to the junction of Paddy Track.
I started from the carpark at Cook's Corner.
Neumann's Track passes large open cleared spaces which were once potato farms in the 1940s, prior to their being acquired by the Government, for integration into the National Park.
Lybeirds live in the bushland adjacent to this Track, and are occasionally seen.
A mob of Eastern Grey Kangaroos inhabits the area near Brendon's Corner, but they are seen mainly at dusk and early morning.
Bordering Brendon's Corner is Wallaby Paddock, the site of an early farm.
Neumann's Track links with Lyrebird Track, which ends at Grant's picnic ground.
