Once your back in Belgrave, Billy and her lovely staff will be serving up some delish South Indian cuisine at babajiskitchen 🍴 There is also the new kid on the block, killik_rum and they will be serving drool-worthy meals and cocktails that are worth a pit stop before you head home.

Post lockdown, take an annual leave day and explore the Dandenong Ranges midweek like a local. Start your day off with a coffee and some good food at thegeneralfoodstore in Emerald. We can’t go past the ‘All local Egg and Bacon bun’ with a pastry to go! Get out in nature and check out the Wright Forest - it’s just a 5 minute drive from breakfast and features the 8th trestle bridge for Puffing Billy. If you’ve built up an appetite after you’re 6.4km (1hr30) hike - we suggest dropping by the iconic Miss Marples for some scones and tea - that’ll warm you right up! Miss marples is about a 25 min drive from Wright Forest but well worth it! Trust us on this!
