Huff and Puff to the Dandenongs

Day Trip



* Straight down Toorak Road... stop at Visitor Information centre to get a map
* Catch the Puff-N-Billy steam train - Option 1 (everyone except one person jumps on and goes to the first stop, the other person drives the car there). Option 2 (a longer return trip - have lunch and a wonder at the destination).
* Feed the parrots and other birds
* Lunch at Miss Marples (if you didn't go Option 2).
* Check out view of the city from the observatory.
* Check out view of the Dandenongs from the other lookout.
* Head back to Melbourne (consider a detour through a few Yarra Valley wineries).

Around the Bay in a Day (or two)

Trip: Melbourne > Mornington Penninsula > Ferry > Queenscliff > Melbourne


Key Highlights:

Day 1
* Coastal drive along Mt Martha, Dromana
* Up to Arthur's Seat for a view of the bay
* Check out one of the mazes (Arthur's Seat Maze or Ashcombe Maze)
* Drive along east coast of Mornington Penninsula and then head back across and up to Dromana
* Fish and chips for dinner
* Find a motel to spend the night

Day 2
* Wake up and take a walk down the Dromana jetty (if the weather is good go for a snorkel down it)
* Drive to the 'bridge'
* Drive to 'London Bridge'
* Head to the end of the penninsula (Point Nepean) - if you have the time consider hiring bikes to head to the end of the park, otherwise perhaps walk out there and catch the Transporter back.
* Catch the Ferry across to Queenscliff
* You've seen the view of the bay from one side (Point Nepean), so now check it out from this side (near the lighthouse).
