WELCOME Looking for that next adventure? Get in the car and journey just an hour or two from the city and discover the natural beauty and range of attractions just outside Melbourne. If picturesque vineyards, local produce and friendly locals are more your scene, spend some time in the townships of the Macedon Ranges. Daylesford, Castlemaine and Woodend are perfect for exploring on a day trip, or to experience one of Victoria’s most beautiful regional centres, Bendigo or Ballarat are historic and lively options.

Heronswood Estate, Mornington Peninsula Visitors to Melbourne are spoilt for choice when it comes to accessible beaches only an hour or so from the city. To the southeast, the bayside towns that line the Mornington Peninsula like Rye, Sorrento and Portsea, are famous for their scenery, nearby wineries and the luxurious lifestyles the locals lead. A little further along the coast, Phillip Island offers pristine beaches as well as one of Victoria’s most popular tourist attractions, the Penguin Parade.

If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, and have a little more time on your side, visit Victoria’s High Country northeast of Melbourne, where resort mountains like Mount Buller, Falls Creek and Mount Hotham are brimming with activity all year-round. Towns like Marysville, Yea and Mansfield are conveniently-placed to visit on your way, or to use as a base as you immerse yourself in this region. No matter how you choose to spend your time in Victoria, you’re sure to have an amazing time. Get ready to uncover a piece of the world unlike anywhere else.

On the other side of the bay, coastal gems like Ocean Grove, Torquay (and its worldfamous Bells Beach) and Lorne offer a bit more of an adrenaline rush with some of Australia’s best surfing spots scattered in the area.
