Penguin Parade and Seal Rocks

The Penguin Parade and Seal Rocks at Phillip Island are internationally famous. This is where the little "gentlemen in dinner suits" waddle past you to reach their nests amidst the sand dunes. Then a unique opportunity to observe Australia's largest colony of fur seals at close quarters.

Blue Dandenong Ranges

The beautiful Blue Dandenong Ranges are a feast in themselves. Not only for the mountain scenery and glorious views of Melbourne and the bay, but also as a gourmet tour of hillside restaurants. In the tea shops there's hot home-made scones either buttered or piled with freshly-cooked berry jam and thick cream. There's many a bric-a-brac shop and cottage crafts industries in the hills.

Puffing Billy

Australia's premier steam railway "Puffing Billy" is a relic of our more leisurely days. A Historic Steam train takes you on a sentimental journey along this 13km track with panoramic and scenic views. On arriving at Emerald Lake many hours can be spent bush walking, swimming or relaxing in the peaceful country setting.

Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery

Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery has developed a specialist collection of Australian prints and drawings, including works by Arthur Boyd and Albert Tucker.

Cape Schanck Lighthouse

Cape Schanck Lighthouse has beamed out its nightly warning to mariners for more than 140 years. The Lighthouse features guided tours and a fascinating museum.
