A unique and ecologically valuable example of a sub-tropical rain forest. The flora and fauna are broad and varied; the forest of great white Victorian mountain ash and giant tree ferns. If you walk quietly, especially around dawn you may hear, and even glimpse, the male Lyrebird's dance. Be sure to include Sherbrooke Falls on your walk through this tranquil forest.
Sherbrooke Forest is a wet sclerophyll forest within Dandenong Ranges National Park, 40 km east of Melbourne, in Victoria, Australia, close to the suburb of Belgrave. It lies within an altitude of 220–500 m ASL and is dominated by the tallest flowering plant in the world: mountain ash.
