Postcard from 1000 Steps
Sometimes you just need a bit of time outdoors to clear your head. Hiking in the Dandenong Ranges was a great example of not needing a ton of cash to see something beautiful: other than train fare, the experience was free! The 1000 Steps of the Kokoda Walk honors the Australian soldiers who followed the Kokoda Trail in Papua New Guinea in World War II.
It’s also a darn good workout: the stairs are more crowded with runners than history buffs. But once you get to the top, there are heaps more trails to explore–and most of these are completely still.
