A short trip from Melbourne by train, the 1,000 Steps Kokoda Track Memorial Walk is a tourist spot in the Dandenong Ranges National Park.

The track was created in the early 1900's, is roughly 2.8 km's long and will take about an hour to get to One Tree Hill, a small picnic ground at the top of the walk.

The constant steps you hear in the background are local joggers going up and down the stairs.

The opening music is 'Open Sea Morning' by 'Puddle of Infinity' and the main theme is 'Virtues Inherited Vices Passed On' by Chris Zabriskie. Both tracks are available on the YouTube Audio Library.

The 1000 steps is an excellent workout, with spectacular views and a challenging track. Well worth the hike!

1000 Steps/Kokoda Memorial Track, Melbourne

In the Dandenongs ranges east of Melbourne, the track was created to commemorate the Kokoda Track, an overland trail in New Guinea in 1942 Australian 'diggers' crossed in order to depend us from the Japanese. This track is a little more...manageable, but still a good workout, with some nice views of the forest and the valley. It's easy accessible from Upper Ferntree Gully station on the Belgrave Line.
