Kallista
Kallista is a small, charming village located in the mountain forests of the Dandenong Ranges between Belgrave and Olinda. It is located within the Shire of Yarra Ranges.
The heart of Kallista meets at the junction of Monbulk and Emerald and is a combination of speciality shops and cafes. What can you do in the area?
Spend a day among the trees in the Dandenong Ranges National Park, which offers visitors walking tracks through bird-filled native Australian bushland. It is a great day out wandering through the scenic and mountainous environments.
Plan a picnic on Perrins Creek Road at the footbridge crossing Sassafras Creek within the Sherbrooke Forest. It’s scenic and serene, and you’ll feel like you’re a million miles away.
Visit the lookout at Johns Hill Reserve, off Ridge Road, for views past Monbulk and across Johns Hill reservoir towards Menzies Creek and Emerald.
Don't forget to explore local foodie places such as Kallista General Store and Cellars and Grants on Sherbrooke.
