Olinda is a small and rather beautiful settlement located 44 km east of the Melbourne city centre atop Mt Dandenong.
The first European settlers in the Olinda area were the Holden family who camped on the slopes from 1855 and felled mountain ash until the turn of the century.
Olinda was the only settlement in the hills to be formally laid out thanks largely to the efforts of John Dodd who opened the first shop in the main street in 1893.
