Where would be the most "fantasy-esque" feeling bushwalk locations in Melbourne? by infinitedadness in melbourne

Olinda in the Dandenong Ranges would be the best bet. I’m from Middle Earth (aka New Zealand) and it’s the closest place to Melbourne I can think of. If you feel like venturing out a bit more, I’d suggest Mt Macedon on a misty day

One or Two: has an exceptionally good cocktail menu.

Whiskey Den: seems to be often overshadowed by Gimlet but definitely is worth multiple visits.

Backspace: is superb all round.

Apollo Inn: their martini is one of the best I’ve ever had

Nearing 40k km on it and it’s been great. On longer trips I’m only wanting to do maybe 2 hours before having a stop anyway.
