If you want to see what areas are covered in the Melbourne metro , chech out the transport/rail system for melbourne, as this covers the Melbourne metro area.

About Werribee to the W/SW
Melton/Sunbury to the NW
Around Cragieburn to the North
Lilydale to the E/NE
Pakenham to the SE
Frankston to the South

There's still a bit of housing beyond those areas, but it's getting outside what is considered metropolitan Melbourne

I can give you all the metropolitan train line boundaries if that is sufficient.

Best way to find out IMO is see where the MFB stops servicing and where the CFA starts.

Dandenong is covered by the CFA and is well inside what is considered Melbourne Metro area. Those boundaries are a little dated - the CFA have maintained their associations with these outer metro areas.

Dandenong is country enough to me

I agree that the MFB/CFA boundaries are probably a more accurate way of knowing.

Another thing is to check the Melway and see where the Taxi service border is.

This is what i was going to say. They have been creeping out every year, so it's a fair idea of what outer metro is.

Cheers
