Start turning the pages and you’ll find everything is grouped together to make it really easy to create your perfect short break or holiday. All the attractions, activities and tours come first, colour-coded by region (see opposite page for colour codes). Then all accommodation, also colour coded by region. So let’s say you just wanted to explore the Yarra Valley and the Dandenongs for a few days. You’ll find five pages of attractions, all alphabetically ordered. Further on, there’s Yarra Valley accommodation. Make your choices (tip: 2-3 morning attractions and 3-4 afternoon attractions are the maximum we’d recommend), head to the Trip Planner and drop it all in. Easy! WHAT’S YOUR PASSION? We’ve got a whole 5-day itinerary for Wildlife and Adventure, but suppose you want to do a deep dive into aquatic activities for a summer holiday? Turn to Phillip Island, the Mornington Peninsula and Geelong and the Bellarine, where you’ll find jetboat tours, coastal cruises, boat trips to a huge seal colony, dolphin and seal swims. Plus gorgeous beaches for swimming and strolling. Let’s say you love wine, but you (or your partner) want to explore the doors that are opening to craft breweries, cideries and distilleries. Every region has excellent vineyards, the Yarra Valley has Australia’s most successful gin distillery, and the Mornington Peninsula, Phillip Island and Geelong and the Bellarine will also pour hand-crafted beers, cider, rum, whiskey, gin and vodka. Would you rather leave your travels in the hands of our expert tour companies? Simple! Choose from wildlife or wine tours, ballooning or 4WD, ocean or airborne adventures in all regions.
