Bayside Brilliance

You might think you know Melbourne well, but have you ever explored Wyndham Harbour? Built around the city’s newest marina on the north-western shores of Port Phillip Bay, it’s the perfect spot to spend a little time by the water. Being part of Werribee South, it’s also only 10 minutes from Werribee Park if you want to combine a visit to both. Stroll around the marina, before taking a seat at one of the harbourside eateries – 3030 Boulevard is a local favourite. Tuck into pizzas and gourmet hotdogs, along with a cocktail, at the outdoor tables. Alternatively, grab fish and chips from Sam’s Catch and find a spot with a view. Arriving at Wyndham Harbour in July is some fun for everyone, with the opening of a new adventure golf course. This fun family activity was designed to complement the landscape and offers views of the city across the bay. + wyndhamharbour.com.au + 3030boulevard.com + Sam’s Catch, 50 Quay Boulevard, Werribee South

Walk Around Werribee

Everyone loves Werribee Open Range Zoo, where visitors can travel the ‘savannah’ in a safari vehicle while they spot rhinoceros, giraffes and other animals. But there’s plenty more to do in the suburb. Explore street art murals on the self-guided Werribee Public Art Tour. At each stop, use a QR code and your smartphone to hear each artist talk about their work. When you’re done, stop by Tocca for all your favourite Italian dishes, from chicken saltimbocca to all manner of wood-fired pizzas. + zoo.org.au/werribee + wyndham.vic.gov.au/arttour + tocca.melbourne
