Night time view from Sky High Mt Dandenong

The photo above was taken from Sky High Mt Dandenong, only a short distance from Holly Gate House.

The name Kalorama, given in about 1932, denotes beautiful panoramic views. The lookout over Silvan and surrounding hills at ‘Five Ways’ provides one of the finest views in Victoria.
