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.

It was around this time that the Government established 10-acre (40,000 m2) farms that would be used to harvest timber.

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