Melbourne & Surrounds

Make an urban escape to a sophisticated, multicultural and world-class city of fun.

Why not holiday in a big city where there’s always plenty happening? Melbourne’s CBD and suburban hubs buzz with culture and character every single day. It’s where big events happen and big names come out to play and perform. Where devoted baristas serve up legendary brews and artisan chefs create hat-winning experiences.

From Melbourne, day trip like there’s no tomorrow –neighbouring regions of Mornington Peninsula, Yarra Valley & Dandenong Ranges, and Daylesford & Macedon Ranges offer more fabulous experiences within easy reach.

Settle in close to the action at your metro, bayside, or just-out-of-town holiday park and get to know Melbourne and surrounds better. Get outdoors with riverbank trails, parks and gardens, zoos, and bush, bayside or wetland walks. Ride Puffing Billy, Australia’s oldest steam railway, through forested hills. Or head to a wellness retreat for a day of pampering.

Dive into a myriad of theatres, galleries and museums as diverse as the MCG, Old Melbourne Gaol, McClelland Sculpture Park and TarraWarra Museum of Art. Seek out an array of cuisines and foodie delights in the city and surrounds. Catch a live show, find a hallowed corner in a whisky bar or show off your best moves at a club.

FIVE FAVES

Walk and talk: Take a guided on-foot tour focused on a theme that grabs you: lanes & arcades, indigenous heritage, foodie culture, urban sustainability, street art and more.

Do a zoo: Zoom in on oodles of critters at Melbourne Zoo, Werribee Open Range Zoo or Healesville Sanctuary.

Rock star: Pack a picnic basket of goodies and head to Hanging Rock Reserve to bush walk, spot wildlife and discover the rock’s mysteries.

Road trip: To the Yarra Valley for award-winning vineyards and cellar doors in ultra-scenic locations.

Hit the fairways or laze on a beach: Mornington Penisula is the ‘home of golf’ with over 19 courses. After your round head to the beach and get the sand between your toes.

Geelong & The Bellarine

FIVE FAVES

Tasty treats: On The Bellarine Taste Trail, visit wineries, farmgates, provedores, restaurants and cafés to savour the flavours of the region.

Up and away: Take a serene sunrise balloon flight over countryside or a thrilling helicopter ride above the waterfront.

Mad MTB: Tackle the hardcore 4km Cressy Descent singletrack loop at You Yangs Regional Park.

Golf go-to: Don’t miss Barwon Heads, the home of three of the top 100 Australian public access golf courses.

Culture fix: Book a fascinating floortalk by an artist or curator at award-winning Geelong Gallery.

Where city charisma meets seaside allure meets country charm.

This region rolls it all into one, just an hour’s drive from Melbourne. Start with Geelong, Victoria’s second city where the super-walkable north-facing waterfront thrives by day and glitters by night. Public art peppers the foreshore and lush lawns sweep up to shady trees and a bustling restaurant strip. Uptown, discover secret laneways and lofty rooftop bars thriving with foodie creativity.

Don’t be sheepish – head to the National Wool Museum and dip into fascinating displays and heritage. Or ogle a medley of distinctive buildings in the architecturally forward arts and culture precinct.

Just beyond, The Bellarine beckons with beautiful beaches (bay and ocean), grand old buildings, rural vistas and a reputation for some of the finest fresh produce in the land. It’s THE place for water activities – swim with dolphins, learn to surf, SUP or scuba dive, or board a bay cruise and set off into the big blue.

Generations of holidaymakers have flocked here, and the locals know how to make them feel welcome. Find friendly tourist parks in top-notch locations by the sea, by the river and in town by the action.

Image: Waterfront Geelong

STAY A LITTLE LONGER.

Wander picturesque seaside towns, unearth cultural treasures, or dine on fresh produce.

Whatever you choose, you’ll need more than a day exploring Geelong and The Bellarine.

Start planning your trip by getting local insights, advice and even information posted to you for free from the Visitor Information Centre team.

Surf school: Why not learn to surf in Torquay, Australia’s spiritual home of surfing culture? Book a lesson, hit the waves.

Sublime seafood: From a feed of crayfish at Apollo Bay to fish & chips straight from the wrapper at Port Campbell, grab yourself a delicious seafood memory.

Where big nature does the heavy lifting and untamed spirits thrive.

The iconic Great Ocean Road journey unfolds a world of escape, big nature and remarkable landscapes to explore. Relax: wide lanes and passing bays mean easy access for caravans and campers.

Park up at a family friendly holiday park next to the ocean, by a river, on the edge of a national park or in a tiny seaside hamlet. Prepare to be wowed by the beauty of this place.

Be lured by boundless ocean coastlines, world-famous rock formations, secluded coves and beaches for days. In the hinterland, find towering rainforests, waterfalls and lake-filled volcanic landscapes. And at Budj Bim Cultural Landscape, explore a UNESCO World Heritage site that tells the oldest story in human history.

Seek adventure with ziplining, high-energy MTB-ing, kayaking, surfing or bushwalking. The Great Ocean Walk and Surf Coast Walk are just two of hundreds of walking and cycling trails through the region that are your path into the great outdoors.

Sample delicious culinary bounty from the ocean and rich fertile plains. Check out a legion of farmgates, boutique producers, artisanal makers, markets, funky foodie spots and up-scale eateries.

High Country

Elevate your any-season escape to new horizons in nature, adventure and hospitality.

Nowhere wraps up four-season fun quite like the High Country. From winter’s snow-capped peaks and autumn’s kaleidoscope of colour, to summer’s alpine freshness and spring’s explosion of wildflowers and natural life, it’s your year-round playground.

Set-up at a mountain-high holiday park, in the foothills, by a crystal-clear lake or river, or in a wild bushland setting. Seek out your own adventure: abseiling and rock climbing, 4WD and dirt biking, gliding, ballooning, kayaking and more.

Embrace the outdoors with horse riding, bird watching, fishing, swimming or trail running. The region’s off-road rail trail network is the longest and most spectacular in the Southern Hemisphere. Many of the trails pass right by holiday parks.

Find a home away from home amongst quaint hamlets, humming historical towns and easy-to-love alpine villages. Hide out in Harrietville, reset in Rutherglen and feel pure serenity at Dinner Plain.

Fill your basket at a farmers market, your glass at a distillery, brewery or vineyard, pack a picnic or dine at a restaurant ‘paddock to plate’ experience.

Escape far away from your everyday in a land where the skies are as big as the welcome.

FIVE FAVES

Snow action: For downhill skiing, snowboarding and snow play, hit the slopes at Mount Hotham, Mount Buffalo or Falls Creek.

Door to door: Cellar hop celebrated vineyards of the Alpine Valleys, one of Australia’s most elevated wine districts. Stellar wines. Sublime views.

Trail mix: Tackle a rail trail on foot or two wheels and cool-off with a shady picnic and pristine lake or river dip.

Huts and heritage: Board a helicopter for a bird’s eye view of legendary cattleman huts, from the air, and on the ground when you land for lunch.

Road trip: Journey the Great Alpine Road, one of Australia’s great touring routes, for jaw-dropping vistas.
