joostbakker: In 1868 the government decided to protect the Dandenong Ranges for its unique flora and fauna, hard to comprehend it is a 300 million year old forest.
During the Gold Rush and boom time it was a popular spot for day trips and weekends away, only 50 kilometres from central Melbourne.
During the first Melbourne depression of 1892/93 it was decided to open up the national park up for clearing and settlement ‘to create jobs’
Thousands protested and thanks to them that’s when the National Park was permanently protected (although it was reduced from 22,000 acres to just 2000 acres.
This weekend we took the Efron brothers @zacefron @dylanefron through this incredible forest, they loved it!
Last year when I was in California I was excited to finally see the worlds largest tree, a 2,500 year old tree the General Sherman.
Also in a protected forest and standing next to it was Dylan!
Couldn’t believe it, we met when they filmed @zacdowntoearth
I told Dylan about this little forest at the time - it was great to take them through.
