Berwick, while now been swallowed up by Melbourne, is located at the far south-eastern end of the city's suburbia and has undergone rapid expansion in recent years. Despite this, the area still however retains much of its original small town charm with its colourful & busy shopping precinct built around the old Princes Highway and being half built into the side of the Dandenong Ranges, give it a feel of separation from the other suburbs. Worth visiting in town is the Wilson's Botantic Gardens - formed from a disused quarry, it has been spectacularly upgraded into an impressive garden with a series of interesting walks and a great lookout.
