Olinda is another lovely village in the Dandenong Ranges. Pie in the Sky is a popular favourite. You can drop into Dudleys for a great wood fired pizza or the Olinda Cafe and Ranges have fantastic cakes. The Sassafras Lolly Shop is a personal favourite and you can’t go to Olinda without stopping into Mangana for all kinds of curiosities.
