There’s a 100-year-old vintage steam rain and a working farm of the same era, wildlife sanctuaries where you can watch a platypus and handfeed wallabies, a koala reserve and Phillip Island’s famous penguin parade each night. Indeed, Geelong was once the centre of a huge wool boom, and a museum in a restored 1872 bluestone wool store tells many intriguing stories. Along the waterfront, the famous Bollard trail comprises 104 intricately carved bollards which depict key characters who’ve shaped Geelong throughout history. The vintage carousel nearby was constructed circa 1892 and is one of only 200 in operation globally. DIAL UP THE ADVENTURE When there’s energy to burn, the Mornington Peninsula’s tree adventures with flying foxes, tight ropes and tunnels are set to go. Out in the ocean from the Mornington Peninsula and the Bellarine, sea creatures intrigue and entertain. Diving or kayaking with dolphins, snorkelling with curious weedy sea dragons, swimming with seals, or just enjoying the sea spray and fresh air from a comfortable boat while the kids get right in amongst it. Fun is the name of the family game too, and there’s plenty of it. Tractor rides on a tulip farm in the Yarra Valley, whip cracking on an historic farm, getting lost in mazes on the Mornington Peninsula, interactive attractions and a world of illusions on Phillip Island. Feeling hungry? Make your own chocolate masterpiece on Phillip Island, take a fruit tasting tractor tour through an orchard, in Yarra Valley and pick your own cherries in summer. And there’s a huge range of cafés, wineries, breweries and restaurants, including family-friendly bistros, BBQs and stone-cooked pizzas. 1 2 3 4 1.
