The ranges were popular with <a href="/wiki/Day-tripper" class="mw-redirect" title="Day-tripper">day-trippers</a> from the 1870s onwards. Much of the Dandenongs were protected as <a href="/wiki/Park" title="Park">parklands</a> as early as 1882, and by 1987 these parklands were amalgamated to form the <a href="/wiki/Dandenong_Ranges_National_Park" title="Dandenong Ranges National Park">Dandenong Ranges National Park</a>, which was subsequently expanded in 1997. The range receives light to moderate <a href="/wiki/Snow_in_Australia" title="Snow in Australia">snowfalls</a> a few times in most years, frequently between late winter and late spring. </p><p>Today, The Dandenongs are home to over 100,000 residents and are popular amongst visitors, many of whom stay for the weekend at the various <a href="/wiki/Bed_%26_breakfast" class="mw-redirect" title="Bed & breakfast">bed & breakfasts</a> throughout the region.
