Comments:
One of my favourite places to visit outside the city areas. Unfortunately we were inconvenienced by terrible weather and hail, so we couldn't see any view whatsoever when we got to the top at Skyhigh - luckily that wasn't my first visit up there and have already seen the view before in good weather conditions...
Skyhi limo parked outside the restaurant
outdoor cafe
could not see a single thing in this weather...
one of many tea shops at Mt. Dandenong
more shops & dining places if you drive further up the road...
