Overview

Ferny Creek lies 33 km south‑east of Melbourne’s CBD within the Shire of Yarra Ranges and recorded a population of 1,524 at the 2021 census. The suburb nestles on the slopes of Dunns Hill, surrounded by the Dandenong Ranges National Park, Sherbrooke Forest and the Upwey habitat corridor, giving residents a rural‑character feel with extensive parks, native flora and the popular “Thousand Steps” bushwalk. Local amenities include a General Store, several bed‑and‑breakfasts, Ferny Creek Primary School (established 1895, 202 students in 2018), a CFA fire station, scout group, tennis club, recreation reserve, plant nursery and a World War One memorial, while sport is represented by the Olinda‑Ferny Creek football team.

Roads link Ferny Creek to neighbouring towns such as Sassafras and Tremont, providing access to Melbourne, and the housing stock consists mainly of large residential blocks and notable homes along Kallamondah and Mount Dandenong Tourist Roads, reflecting a low‑density, lifestyle‑focused community.
