Kokoda Track Memorial Walk

Beautiful nature and great for hiking but we went on public holiday parking was full we have to wait until someone goes

Nice walk, even with kids. We went with a few families, and we had 4 year olds and older making it all the way up and down. We also had a couple of babies being carried in a carrier by their dads.As there isn’t much sun it stays quite wet and at times slippery. The top of the 1000 steps is an anticlimax and no great view. There are a couple of better views on the way up and down.At the base of the hike is a nice playground and toilet facilities. Parking was very full on a public holiday but luckily we found one right away.

I love this trail. It's still doable in rainy/winter days but thrives in summer/spring. Is hard enough for a seasoned hiker, but also easy enough for someone looking for a small challenge. I'd recommend coming in the early afternoon for less crowds though

It's a good place for relaxing or sport. There are so many options over there - hiking, walking, bbq.

We recently visited the Kokoda Track Memorial Walk and was deeply moved by the experience. The 1000-step climb was challenging, but it was worth it to see all of the memorials and tributes to the brave Australian soldiers who fought and died during World War II. The park is beautifully landscaped and provides a peaceful and reflective atmosphere. The walk is a must-see for anyone interested in Australia's military history or for those who want to pay their respects to those who have served our country. I highly recommend this memorial walk to all visitors to Melbourne.

An awesome weekend or weekday walk. Be prepared for the car parking challenges regardless of the time of day or morning…but it’s worth it. People are coming and going the whole time.The photos show the two tracks, I recommend going UP the 1000 steps and down the other side. It’s a beautiful walk surrounded by trees (and shade). There are lots of rest stops with some seats to allow others to pass you or for you to pass other scenic walkers. The grounds have a lot of areas to picnic as well in addition to the cafe (we did not go to). Highly recommend for the whole family.

It's a nice one-hour or two-hour excursion that is suitable for almost all ages (5 to 65). Nice view with only 30 minutes drive from eastern suburbs such as Boxhill and Doncaster.

The Kokoda Track Memorial Walk, nestled in the picturesque Dandenong Ranges, is a heavenly haven for nature lovers and history buffs alike. The 1000 Steps Walking Trail, a true testament to one's endurance, takes you on a journey through lush, verdant forests and serene landscapes, making the challenge worthwhile.As you immerse yourself in the tranquil surroundings, the trail reminds you of the courage and sacrifices made by the soldiers during WWII, adding a poignant touch to your experience. The symphony of birdsong and the rustle of leaves beneath your feet make it the perfect escape from the city's hustle and bustle.After conquering the trail, treat yourself to a well-deserved break at the nearby cafe. With its delightful menu and warm, inviting atmosphere, it's the ideal spot to refuel and relax. The Kokoda Track Memorial Walk is a must-visit destination for a rejuvenating day out amidst nature's beauty.Important note: This location can get busy, so be sure to go early in the morning to secure a parking spot.
