See the view
Olinda sits at an altitude of 569 metres above sea level, which means a short walk to Burke’s Lookout on Kyeema Track can lead to spectacular panoramic views of the Yarra Valley and Melbourne.
Shopping
From spices to homewares, hand-crafted jewellery, fashion and old-fashioned sweets – shoppers can spend hours browsing Olinda’s stores and boutiques for treasures.
Waterfalls
Located in the cool climate of the Dandenong Ranges, Olinda Falls is a perfect place to have a quiet picnic, short walk and spend time with the family just a 350 metre walk from the car park.
