The Dandenong Ranges is a well known and loved area just an hours drive from the Melbourne CBD. The natural setting offers beautiful scenic forests, important habitats for native animals and attracts walkers, cyclists, and weekenders. Living in and around the Dandenong Ranges National Park with its abundance of unique flora and fauna is both a privilege and a responsibility.

Caring
The most well-known Dr. Seuss quote about caring is, "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." This quote, from The Lorax, emphasizes the importance of individual action and responsibility in making positive change. It highlights that collective effort, even starting with a single person, is crucial for improvement.
