1 YARRA VALLEY
Under an hour from Melbourne and nestled amongst infinite shades of blueand green, lie fifty five of the world's leading wineries alongside many fine restaurants and romantic retreats. |
2 DANDENONG RANGES
A thoroughly enjoyable way to experience the Dandenong Ranges is to ride on Puffing Billy, Australia’s oldest surviving preserved steam railway. The 25km journey takes passengers through thick forests and lush fern-filled gullies, from Belgrave to Emerald Lake Park and finishing up at Gembrook. |
3 DAYLESFORD
Just an over an hour from central Melbourne, Daylesford’s boutique accommodation, mineral spas and fine dining are world class. Explore antique shops and art galleries, go boating on the lake, or just relax with a glass of wine and enjoy the atmosphere.

4 PHILLIP ISLAND
Drive ninety minutes from Melbourne and you can find yourself communing with koalas, sharing the beach with hungry pelicans, watching a colony of fur seals splashing in the sun. After sunset you can view the famous nightly spectacle of the world’s smallest penguins as they emerge from the sea and waddle ashore to their sand dune burrows. |
5 GREAT OCEAN ROAD
Winding along the western coast of Victoria, the Great Ocean Road offers stunning ocean views, beachside activities, laidback coastal towns and maritime villages, not to mention the magnificent twelve apostles, giant rock stacks which are a central feature of the spectacular Port Campbell National Park. |
6 MORNINGTON PENINSULA
As you drive along the Mornington Peninsula you could be forgiven for thinking that you have left Australia behind. Rolling hills laced with vineyards, silvery olive groves, waterfront cafes and restaurants, roadside signs for strawberries or free-range eggs and lively local markets where growers bring just-picked and just-made produce. All just over an hour from Melbourne. |
