The sun is low in the sky as you glide across Lake Elizabeth on a kayak, being as quiet as possible. What you’re looking for is movement on the water’s surface – that’s a platypus. Spot these elusive creatures on either a dawn or dusk tour with Otway Eco Tours. + platypustours.net.au
The Grampians is known for its excellent shiraz, but at Pomonal Estate’s cellar door there’s more to enjoy. As well as the winery, this property has a microbrewery, cidery and boutique accommodation. Grab a tasting paddle or a bottle of your favourite drop, order a local produce platter then settle on the deck or grass and take in the spectacular views. + pomonalestate.com.au
Get ready for a day of local wine, tasty food and family fun in the sun at Churchill Island (it’s just off Phillip Island). Boy & Bear headline the second day of Ocean Sounds (8-9 January), with other incredible Australian acts, including Gretta Ray, Jack Botts and Birdz, playing throughout the day. + oceansoundsfestival.com.au
