Comments on: 10 Day Trips From Melbourne https://www.rockytravel.net/blog/day-trips-melbourne/ Solo Travel & Tours For Over 50 Fri, 31 May 2024 08:53:31 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Robyn Reeves https://www.rockytravel.net/blog/day-trips-melbourne/#comment-30065 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 05:12:47 +0000 https://www.rockytravel.net/?p=13961#comment-30065 These are all great day trips, however, I note that they are all to the east of Melbourne. To the west, there are also great nearby day trips including wonderful spa/springs country around Macedon, Daylesford and Hepburn, Ballarat and the Goldfields, Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula/ surf coast, and a little bit further afield the amazing Grampians/Gariwerd National Park. These are all well worth considering and are also within easy reach by car.

Lancefield has wineries and a gorgeous main street with a few great places to dine or just grab a coffee and cake. Woodend is another town about 25km from Lancefield and your drive will take you past the amazing “Hanging Rock”. You can easily spend a day at the rock ascending to its summit via a path that suits all fitness levels. There is the beautiful drive to the summit of Mount Macedon where you can walk to the memorial cross and lookout over the whole of the Macedon Ranges. Approximately 24 km East of Lancefield their is the township of Kilmore which has a couple of really great bakeries, an old gaol and a main street full of quirky and interesting shops. From any of these central Victorian towns there is much to see and do, with all of the Macedon Ranges within 100 km of the cbc, it’s well worth a day or two to visit.

Wildlife + nature + peace and quiet is pretty much a recipe for perfection in my book. 🙂

Hi Sophie, I went on my own and most of the time wine tasting is free, depending on the winery. Or as little as 5-10 dollars per winery.

I agree with Kanchan, Melbourne is a nice place for family, friends, couples. I have stayed at Melbourne for 2 weeks, We all know that Australia is quite expensive. So we really have to plan ahead before going there. But I assure you guys that it’s all worth the expenses! There’s a lot of beautiful spot to visit in Melbourne. Because my budget can’t afford a Hotel stay, I just accommodate an Apartment house for my stay in Melbourne.

I liked De Bortoli Winery too. I don’t know the other ones. I also remember visiting a couple of small ones too. The Yarra Valley Chocolaterie is absolutely one of the highlights of the whole region! 😉

We visited De Bertolli too, but also loved some of the smaller ones like Soumah, Maddens Rise and Pimpernel. The Chocolaterie was fab too, especially the great big bowls for trying when you enter!

There is so much to do in Melbourne. It really is hard to beat as a travel destination.

No doubt it is an expensive country as compare to other asian country’s but it has their own wonderful experience.

You must visit William Ricketts Sanctuary! Thanks for the tip with the Bourke’s lookout, I will check it out next time I am in Melbourne! Happy & Safe travels in Australia!
