It is a place where the tourists flock on a weekend, yet head into the national park and it's just you and the trees.
A place that is part of a big city, and you always bump into someone you know.
This is a place where interesting characters reside, such as 'The Wizard' who walks the streets looking like Jesus, with his long beard, robes and staff, but has a Facebook page with 2,000 fans.
It is a place that is fearful to many during summer, but the residents love it enough to face the bushfire threat.
This is a place from which people travel to the city for work every day, yet go for dinner in the city and are met with an astounded look at the mention of driving back home that same night.
And when you do drive home, up the road we locals call The Mad Mile, the fresh air that hits you as you wind your way up the hill makes you happy to be home.
I love it here.

I love it! Especially the mad mile! It's that marker that ur nearly there! I love the cameo cinema and I love the main street! I love the trees and even more so the way the sun finally pokes through the trees on a sunny morning!!!
Sounds dee-lightful. Even the old wizard guy. ;)
I've spent some mighty fine times in your neck of the woods - no wonder you love it so!
MMM I can imagine the scent ;)
I hope to get out of Melbourne next time we visit family - out your way sounds nice :)
I've always loved the Dandenongs, so beautiful, and so similar to the gorgeous mountain top where I reside, only colder :)
One of the greatest joys in life, I believe, is to love where you live with a passion.
We haven't visited your part of the world for awhile now, it's just so beautiful. We'll visit again soon :)
Dear megan. When I lived in sydney I dreamed about living in the Blue Mountains and commuting down everyday... but it was just a bit too far. The dandenog ranges sound similar.. Lucky you getting to live somewhere you love!
I've never been but it sounds delightful! xxx
