Winding forest road beneath towering mountain ash.
This section of the Maroondah Highway runs about 28km between Healesville and Narbethong through Yarra Ranges forest of giant mountain ash and tree ferns. Tight twin-apex curves curl beneath a dense, shaded canopy popular with drivers and cyclists. Mind damp shaded asphalt, cyclists on the bends, and wildlife at dawn and dusk.
