Newman Road is a quiet management road that runs through Sherbrooke Forest, commonly used as an access point for walking routes including the Lyrebird, Neuman, and Coles Ridge tracks. The gravel road winds through tall mountain ash forest and fern-filled gullies, reflecting the area’s history as a forestry and fire-management corridor. Today, it functions primarily as a shared trail and trailhead access, linking several loop walks within Dandenong Ranges National Park.
