Description

Experience the best of Melbourne with a day trip that includes a visit to the famous Brighton Bathing Boxes, a stop at the Moonlit Sanctuary, a visit to Pt. Leo Estate, and a ride on the Puffing Billy Railway. Start your day with a visit to the famous Brighton Bathing Boxes. These iconic structures are an iconic part of Melbourne's coastline, featuring over 80 brightly colored, small wooden structures arranged along the beachfront. Initially used as changing rooms and storage for beachgoers in the 1800s, these huts have now become a popular Instagram spot and a symbol of Brighton Beach. Each box is uniquely painted, with no two being the same, making for a vibrant and picturesque scene. The most famous designs include the Australian flag and kangaroos. Next, head to the Moonlit Sanctuary, an award-winning wildlife park located on the Mornington Peninsula. With spacious grounds that allow for social distancing, the sanctuary provides a safe environment to observe and interact with kangaroos, wallabies, and other native species. It's a perfect destination for wildlife enthusiasts seeking a close encounter with nature. Then, visit Pt. Leo Estate, a 330-acre property on the Mornington Peninsula, known for its site-expressive wines and spectacular views of the vineyard and Western Port. The estate offers a unique blend of fine dining, wine tastings, and an extensive sculpture park featuring works from Australian and international artists. It's a destination that combines the best of wine, art, and natural beauty, making it a standout among Australian wineries. Finally, take a ride on the Puffing Billy Railway, Australia’s oldest railway, offering a heritage steam train experience through the picturesque Dandenong Ranges. Known for its open-sided carriages that allow passengers to sit with their legs hanging over the side, Puffing Billy provides a timeless experience, reconnecting people with nature and history. The railway is a beloved part of Victorian history, offering a journey through lush fern gullies and towering Mountain Ash trees.
