The 1000 Steps Walk is an institution for fitness enthusiasts across Melbourne. Making the 3km trek one of the most popular spots in the Dandenong Ranges National Park, but its steep terrain is not to be underestimated. But this suits many just fine who are often preparing to undertake the real "Kokoda Track".
Created in the early 1900s, the 1000 Steps Walk was originally made from the trunks of tree ferns laid along the wetter areas of the track to make the 290 metre ascent somewhat easier. These have been replaced by a combination of wooden steps and concrete section overtime to ensure that the track can cater for users year round in all weather.
Plaques along the trail depict the lives of the soldiers who fought and died on the real Kokoda Trail in Papua New Guinea, during World War II. The steps represent the ‘Golden Staircase’, a name given by Australian soldiers to the 2000 steps cut by the Australian Army Engineers and others into the track between Uberi and Imita Ridge.”
The 1000 Steps follow a creek alignment up through the wet fern gully, walkers/runners will experience filtered sunlight through the Tree Ferns and Manna Gum as they make their way up, up up. There is always a range of native wildlife to enjoy along the way from birdlife to even the odd Lyrebird.
Once at the top you can take the Lyrebird Track, which makes a great return circuit, or continue on some 800m to One Tree Hill.

Established in 1882, from the creation of a small reserve near Ferntree Gully, the Park has grown to some 3500ha, and is famous for its Mountain Ash Trees (the tallest flowering tree in the world) and lush fern gullies. The Park is interspersed with small villages, roads and houses the legacy of the regions time a timber harvesting area to support the development of Melbourne in the 1800’s.
The Park is home to crystal clear streams, waterfalls and creeks and has an extensive network of the walking trails that allow you to access all the special and secret spots. With many a picnic ground to be found.
Kookaburras, cockatoos, crimson rosellas and other native birds call this place home. Including the Superb Lyrebird, who thanks to the efforts of volunteers groups such as the Sherbrooke Lyrebird Study group now have a healthy population across the Park, from its days where numbers were critically low numbers for this shy bird that mimics the sounds of the bush, and is also found on the Australian 10 cent coin.
The park provides and overwhelming connection for visitors to nature. Its proximity to Melbourne has meant that for centuries it has remained a place that is very accessible for people to reconnect with the natural environment in such a breathtakingly beautiful place.
