The Tesselaar Tulip Farm at 357 Monbulk Rd, Silvan in the Dandenong ranges have not changed much since I first went in 1997! Even those paintings/boards of the body of Dutch where you can stick your heads in the holes for taking pictures are still around. And even the Poffertjes (mini Dutch pancakes with icing sugar) were still sold there in a van. The only change is probably them having new staff dressed as Dutch strolling in the garden for us to take picture with. Since it was the first weekend of the Tulip Festival, the tulips are still growing and most of the soil could be seen when taking photos. We bought 2 stems back home and they blossomed during the week we were in Sydney. Lasted for barely 2 weeks.
