Dandenong, is a township and suburb of the Greater Melbourne area in Victoria, Australia, 44 km (27 mi) east of the Melbourne central business district (CBD), located within the local government area of the Shire of Yarra Ranges.

The area around Mount Dandenong experienced a highly unusual summer snow fall on Christmas Day 2006.

However, today there is still a Mount Corhanwarrabul, which is on the site of Burkes Lookout.

The Post Office, opened in 1902, was closed and replaced by one at Kalorama in 1991.

It is significantly cloudier than Melbourne, particularly in the winter due to the heavy orographic lifting brought about by cold fronts.
