About Upwey
Upwey is a hill suburb in the Dandenong Ranges, postcode 3158, about 33 km from the CBD by road. The suburb runs along the Belgrave Line rail corridor between Upper Ferntree Gully to the west and Tecoma to the east. Old Belgrave Road is the main route through the suburb. The Kokoda Track Memorial Walk is the best known attraction in the area, passing through the surrounding bushland above the township. Upwey Primary School and a small shopping strip near the station make up the local centre. The terrain is hilly and roads through the suburb follow the contours of the ranges rather than a grid pattern. Upwey Station on the Belgrave Line provides train services to Flinders Street, with the journey taking around 50 to 55 minutes. Buses connecting Upwey to Ferntree Gully and Belgrave run along Old Belgrave Road. By car, Burwood Highway connects west toward Knox and the Eastern Freeway access at Ringwood. Travel to Melbourne Airport by public transport from Upwey requires a train to Flinders Street and then a separate SkyBus or other transfer to the airport, which adds significant time. Most residents heading to the airport book a direct taxi instead. Silver Taxi covers Upwey for Melbourne Airport transfers and local trips throughout the Dandenong Ranges corridor. The airport fare from Upwey is from $138 to $151. To arrange a pickup, call 0412 456 588 at any time. The driver comes to your address in Upwey, which is particularly convenient given the hilly terrain and the distance from Upwey Station to many residential streets in the suburb. The service covers all departure and arrival times.
