Admire the breathtaking views over Port Phillip Bay from the lookout. Next, visit the Brighton Bathing Boxes and get some sand in your toes as you photograph the brightly colored bathing boxes with views of the city.

Continue to the Moonlit Sanctuary, an enchanting wildlife conservation park where you can interact with Australia's unique fauna. Feed a kangaroo, encounter cuddly koalas, and marvel at wallabies in their natural habitat on a self-guided walk. Set amidst beautiful bushland, this sanctuary is a haven for endangered species, with vibrant orange-bellied parrots and water birds flourishing in the extensive wetlands. With over 60 Australian species, including approximately 80 wallabies roaming freely, the Moonlit Sanctuary provides an extraordinary opportunity for a close encounter with nature.
