Eltham
vic 3095

Eltham is a 'green wedge' suburb that remains relatively undeveloped, with many tree-lined streets and leafy reserves filled with native birds and wildlife.

Eltham is home to an artists colony at Montsalvat, a rustic set of medieval-style buildings from the 1930s, and the Diamond Valley Railway, which is the largest miniature railway in Australia.

North of the Yarra River off Homestead Road in Eltham, this large off-leash park is the perfect place for some R&R out of the big smoke for you and your dog. Breathe in the fresh grass and native wildflowers and have a real run-around — this is a nice big off-leash space. It's open all year-round except when sport training is on.
