About 10 minutes out of Bendigo, you’ll come across Balgownie Estate. If waking up to views of vineyards appeals, check in to one of the property’s comfy safari tents. They’re spacious, cosy and beautifully equipped – there’s even a bath on the balcony. + balgownieestatebendigo.com
Follow the old tramway from Sheoak picnic area near Lorne through a beautiful valley filled with ferns to find Kalimna Falls. It’s a long return walk – eight kilometres in all – but worth it. You can duck into a chamber behind the lower falls and watch the water from within. + parks.vic.gov.au
At Echuca on the mighty Murray, hire a canoe or kayak and paddle out for a few hours to explore along the banks. You’ll see birdlife overhead and perhaps a paddle steamer passing. Echuca Boat and Canoe Hire can also sort you out for an overnight ‘campanoeing’ trip. + echucaboatcanoehire.com
