Mayfield Garden

Park
Nature & Parks
Flower-filled green space with a water garden, grotto & tree-lined valley, plus giant chess.
I’ve been here 2 times now! What I always love about this garden is how big it is and how pretty all of the colourful trees. Would recommend to come during normal weekdays. ‘cause last year when I came, it was super busy because of school holiday (you won’t be able to take picture freely). I would also recommend to come earlier in the morning so you can really enjoy the entire place (follow the map!). Bring your own food and picnic mat as well!

Amazing well kept grounds. The autumn colours were gorgeous! The different sections made wandering around interesting. Although a bit pricey for entry to a garden, I can understand how expensive it would be to maintain such a place. I would love to see the garden again in springtime.
Kathleen Y — Google review
Absolutely stunning gardens with breathtaking views all year round. The grounds are beautifully maintained, with so much to explore – from the formal gardens and hidden pathways to the water features and the lake. It’s a peaceful and relaxing place, perfect for a day out with family or friends. A place where heaven meets.
Ken S — Google review
It is a spectacular 65 hectare private garden that is open to the public. It is considered to be one of the the largest and most spectacular cool climate gardens in the Southern Hemisphere. It has sprawling gardens, maze, chapel, stumpery, aviary, garden rooms and every other feature across the garden. Popular place, need to go early to avoid the heat as well. Fair bit of walking around, some under shade. Uneven terrain, lot of walking on paved pathways mostly. Popular with tourists and locals. You can spend several hours here depending on your interests. Wear comfy shoes, take water, wear hat, sunscreen. Toilets available. Restaurant available at main entry/exit point. Beautiful place. Lots to see. Parking is easy at off peak times. Great place for photography. You can book ready installed tents for overnight stays.
S V — Google review
A very wonderful place to visit. We went there Autumn season. The weather was perfect and the plants are vibrant. I suggest coming early to secure parking. We were not able to do the maze simply because we have a pram and a 2 year old with us. Nonetheless, the experience was worthwhile.
Jericho — Google review
There was a lovely woman and a kind man at the café—maybe the owners or staff—and both were super friendly and welcoming. I asked for my coffee to be really hot, and they nailed it! (Not everyone gets that right.) The atmosphere was so cozy and peaceful. We spent around two hours walking in the garden, and had a great time with the kids. Thank you so much for your genuine kindness and warm smiles. ☺️ I absolutely recommend this place!
Ozlem C — Google review
Lovely cool climate garden. Will be spectacular a little later in the spring, and stunning during autumn. Cafe on site, staff friendly and helpful. We had a shared cheese/ meat platter for lunch, very filling. We visited during the week, and it was quite busy, would be extra busy on weekends and during holidays. Will be back to check it out during different seasons 💐🪻🍁🍂

Specialty Museums
The Australian Fossil and Mineral Museum, housed in a former school building dating back to 1876, is a renowned destination for enthusiasts of fossils, minerals, and dinosaur skeletons. It is home to the prestigious Somerville Collection featuring over 2000 mineral and fossil specimens including a complete T-Rex skeleton and fossilized dinosaur eggs. Visitors can explore the museum's fascinating displays showcasing rare and scientifically significant minerals from around the world.
This is a small, compact museum with very interesting information about what kind of minerals are found in Australia and what they are used for. It shows lots of different ones, and had a Lego theme for the little ones. It also has various puzzles, games and 3 play areas to keep the young ones engaged and entertained. There is a huge dinosaur skeleton and multiple videos about mining, and how various minerals are found. The shop is also great, with lots of different items to buy. I recommend the visit.
Anne R — Google review
A wonderful little gem of a museum! Pun fully intended. We came with our kids on a weekday during school hours and it was pretty quiet. We had lots of space to explore the beautiful old rooms filled with spectacular mineral and fossil specimens. The displays are laid out with great visual appeal and well written educational information. We greatly appreciated the hands-on experiences for small children especially the microscope and dinosaur toys. Also the picnic table in the courtyard for a bit of morning tea before we entered. Staff were friendly and helpful, bathrooms clean and well maintained. Overall a lovely experience. I would recommend about 1.5-2 hours.
Edwina B — Google review
Wealth of history living in this cozy and compact museum! Awe inspiring displayed of collections around the country and globe! Quite a fascinating place where kids/adults in fact all ages people can learn about the past. We spent quite a long time inside the museum and learned a lot! Every pieces of collection has its own unique history and features. A must visit place for everyone! Highly recommended.

Such a great museum with permanent fossil / mineral displays and other cool temporary exhibitions. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and clearly love this place. Shout out to the descriptions of tumble rocks and crystals at the gift shop, factual and science-based instead of wishy washy energetic 'benefit'.
Crystal N — Google review
A fascinating variety of minerals despite the small size, they had an engaging perioidic table and how they excavate the minerals, perfect for primary school aged kids.
Wendy L — Google review
Loved this museum! Our grandsons loved the T-rex skeleton (they were huge!), the fossils and the insects and animals in amber. I loved the displays connecting the periodic table to modern living; they are an inspired way to show how these minerals are used today. The mineral displays were beautifully presented with good information.
Karen L — Google review
Very modern and interactive museum specifically tailored for kids. Stunningly set in an old church. The T-Rex skeleton was fantastic, and so many things to touch and feel, and history of the earth video was great. Only a few small rooms here though, and an hour is enough. Definately worth a visit though.

Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit

Car racing venue
Sights & Landmarks
Home of the Bathurst 1000 event, this road-race circuit has uphill stretches with panoramic views.
I came here because my husband is a big fan of cars and racing, and honestly, I’m so happy we checked it out. Mount Panorama Racing Circuit is amazing, the track is iconic and you can really feel the history and excitement just by being there. Walking around and seeing the circuit up close was something special. But the best part was definitely seeing my husband’s smiling face enjoying every moment. Whether you’re into motorsports or just curious, this place is definitely worth a visit. It’s an experience you won’t forget!
Zella B — Google review
A true icon and amazing destination for not only car racing fans. The views are beautiful, especially on a clear winter morning with the low cloud across parts of the town. Everyone you speak to on the mountain has a smile on their face. The walk is awesome and a great heart starter before jumping back in the car for a 3 hour drive. Thoroughly recommend the visit.
Roadcraft R — Google review
One of the all time greatest experiences of a life time. All fans of motorsport need to go to Mt Panorama, Bathurst at least once in your life. Awesome!
W Q — Google review
Finally made it to Mount Panorama, and wow, what an experience! Even when there’s no race on, just driving the circuit at normal speed gives you chills. The elevation changes, the sharp turns, the views over Bathurst… it’s unreal to imagine the pros flying through it at full speed. I stopped a few times to take in the scenery and honestly, every corner has history written all over it. The National Motor Racing Museum nearby is also worth the visit. So much passion and heritage packed into one place. Whether you’re into motorsport or just love a scenic drive with serious Aussie character, Mount Panorama is a must-visit. I left with a full heart, a phone full of photos, and a huge smile. Can’t wait to go back! 🏁🇦🇺

Cook Park is an easy 10-minute walk west of the Orange CBD via Summer or Kite Streets. Cook Park embodies the seasonal colours of Orange all year round. Summer's arrival brings gardens of stunning and vibrant coloured roses. From February to April, hundreds of begonias bloom in the 'Blowes Conservatory', and in Spring, a burst of colour arrives with masses of tulips and daffodils. A great picnic spot as well with ample playing areas.

Beautiful park for a relaxing day out! The scenic walking paths wind through plenty of gorgeous spots, with lots to see along the way. There are toilets and plenty of rest areas, plus a great playground if you’ve got kids in tow. The highlight for me was the group of friendly ducks who decided to follow me for part of the walk, absolute charmers! A lovely place to spend an afternoon.

Large park with lots of seating. A pond with ducks even, huge trees to marvel at also Flowers in winter mode but one can see potential. Greenhouses not in operation. Handy arts and craft store. Purchased a phone/ipad style mount. Works a treat. Enjoyable stop with walk around. Lots of street parking mid afternoon. Bit cool this time of the year but nonetheless worth the effort.

This is a historical park here in Orange and is a must visit. I will be returning many times as the park and its beauty changes daily. There is so much wonder and history to enjoy and be amazed by . Orange is known for its seasons, and this park is a fabulous place to partake and enjoy nature in all its glory. Add this to your daily walks or at least a weekly visit as this garden awakes from its winter slumber.

Age of Fishes Museum at Canowindra is well worth the stop. A terrific glimpse into the past, when fishes dominated the once inland seas. The fossil collection is a real eye opener and the result of many years of dedication putting it together. Kids with any kind of interest in science will love it. Friendly staff make it all the better experience.

If you have any interest in palaeontology or fish, then this is a must visit. If you have kids interested in dinosaurs, then I can highly recommend it as there's many interactive activities for kids. Even if you just have a casual interest in natural history it's worth a look.

Great museum covering prehistoric Age of Fishes. Best of only two similar museum in the world. We came to Canowindra only because of the museum.

What an amazing museum! Seeing such complete, ancient, rare, large, fossil fish was amazing . You are allowed to touch them giving a unique, hands on experience. The staff ween so helpful and knowledgeable to help my family understand everything. The displays had easy to understand descriptive texts to help as well. With tv monitors showing what these fish and life was like almost 400,000 years ago way before the dinosaurs. There were 3 large sections plus an outdoor area full of info including timelines going back to the beginning of the earth and so the beginning of life. This helped us all place how these armoured fish evolved along with dinosaurs, mammals etc etc all the way to humans. This is a truly world class site!

Cowra Japanese Garden and Cultural Centre

Mentioned on

Cultural center
The Cowra Japanese Garden and Cultural Centre is a serene 12.5-acre garden featuring streams, ponds, and annual events. The town of Cowra is known for its historical significance tied to the Cowra breakout of 1944 and its association with Japan, promoting pacifism and internationalism. The garden holds significant cultural, architectural, and historic value as a symbol of goodwill, reconciliation, and peace between nations.
The gardens are so beautiful! Lovely to walk around, the birds and lizards are great to sit and watch. If you or your kids would like you can feed the ducks and koi fish but it is an extra charge for the food for them. The cultural centre is lovely, it gives some background to the building of the gardens and who created them. The Cafe is VERY busy so if you want breakfast or lunch reserve a table ahead of time! I ended up having to go somewhere else for lunch, all the tables that weren't taken were reserved. You can sit outside in the Cafe and look over at the gardens while you eat its truly a gorgeous peaceful place to visit.

Albury Botanic Gardens, established in 1877, spans across 9.9 acres and features a diverse collection of native and exotic plant species. The gardens boast over 1,000 plant species from 450 genera and 95 plant families, including a notable assortment of rainforest species.
The Botanical gardens are exceptionally beautiful and I found that they were relatively quiet and not overcrowded. There's a fantastic diversity of flora and lots of shade in seats situated throughout the park. I would like to see it open at night time. Sometimes especially lit up with events or perhaps choirs. It would also be a great place to hold nature studies for school groups to encourage our children to become lovers of the planet.

What a charming little park! Colorful flowers and tall palm trees sway gently in the breeze, accompanied by the sweet scent of osmanthus blossoms. Locals can be seen relaxing on the grass, enjoying picnics with friends, or playing with their children—it's truly a lovely spot to unwind. The children's playground is a particular highlight, full of whimsical and imaginative features: ceramic sculptures, a dinosaur-shaped speaking tube, small animal-themed wooden seats, handpans, and tiny xylophones… There's even a fairytale-like restroom adorned with stained glass and a sculpted lizard winding around the exterior. It's truly a magical place.

With the visit when exploring the area. Beautiful views of the falls from the lookout point! Nice picnic area with WCs available. Due to injury we couldn’t explore as much as we would have liked, but there were lots of people walking around the rocks and falls below.

Easy walk to the fall from the parking. The view is spectacular and the breeze makes the heat go away. The rocks underneath the water are slippery but with proper shoes it is not too dangerous. A good destination for a day trip, with friends and family or solo trip.

Beechworth Historic Court House

Historical place

History Museums
Beechworth Historic Court House, situated on Ford Street, is an integral part of the Justice Precinct. Dating back to 1858, this impressive building complex was constructed with local honey-colored granite and includes several historic structures such as the former Telegraph Office, Police Station, Chinese Protectors Office, and Gold Wardens Office. Today, it stands as a museum showcasing Beechworth's rich history including its involvement in gold mining and World War II.
A great historic precinct with so much history. We did the tour of the courthouse for $10 per adult. Very good value with a captioned presentation on the walls going through 4 cases heard in the courthouse. After the presentation you are free to wonder the rooms and even dress in judges garb if desired. Natasha was our guide who was very knowledgeable and spoke in a clear voice. Well worth visiting particularly if you want to learn more about Ned Kelly and his associates. The law library is also very impressive.

the whole historic zone in Beechworth is amazing ..courthouse ...telegraph station .. gold wardens house ...gold office ..along with the old gaol absolutely amazing must see when in the Beechworth area ...all dating back to 1850s to 1860s build during the Beechworth Gold rush period

We did the courthouse guided tour. It was worth the small fee, lots of interesting information and you could look at how courts were conducted during the 19th century. It's a beautiful old building and well worth preserving, it's our history.

Excellent, informative and balanced view of Ned's story within the context of the regional Victorian court system of the time. Three projectors display the story hugely magnified across the interior courtroom walls so you can truly be immersed in the history of the court building. Side rooms include the judge's chamber (where you can try on legal wigs and robes) and a magnificent law library full of ancient volumes. Very informative and helpful guide Mal answered all my questions and was very well-versed on the subject. A must for fans of Beechworth, legal and goldfields era history!
Jane T — Google review
If you want experience the deeper history of Beechworth, then the Court house is a great place to start. Beechworth has an amazing number of little places you can take the kids or yourself to go and have a visit to learn about Beechworth. The court House is of course famous for its association with Ned Kelly, but it also is an amazing place to come and see a historic building, built in 1958 and was a working courthouse right up to 1989, this courthouse has been an interesting and integral part of the community just as much as the Beechworth Goal Has. I love how you can almost access nearly every room of the courthouse minus the lady's balcony and a storeroom. But the Library happened to be our favourite room, it was filled with old law books and just had that nostalgic feel about it, the kids loved the library and the holding cells. (They used to have an audio spill that used to play but that feature was not there anymore. It did make for a great way to experience the court room.) The kids love being able to explore and sit where the judge and lawyers would sit and they did a little court play of their own. It was cheap to get in costing us a family of 6 $10. you could pay a bit extra for a guided tour which would probably have been great. There were souvenirs you could purchase for reasonable prices. Accessibility: The courthouse is wheelchair friendly, and you can access most of the courthouse bar the cells I believe. The staff are welcoming and encourage all to come and take part in the history of Beechworth. Great place for kids and anyone to come and visit.
Sara H — Google review
This place is fantastic! Cheap to visit. The court house is in original condition as it was on the last day is was used. Lots of interesting information to read. Ned Kellys trial began here in August 1880 before it was transferred to Melbourne. Don’t forget to go around the rear of the building where one of the old stable buildings still stand. Also the old stone lock up with would be terrible to be locked up in. The whole area is so interesting and next door is the telegraph office to visit as well.

Loved our visit here, there wasn’t a single wine we didn’t like and we also sampled the Muscat gin for something a little different. Staff were personable and knowledgeable. Loved the aesthetic of the cellar door and wines themselves. Great to see wineries that are trying new takes on classics and doing it well. We’ll definitely be back!

Bright Brewery was such a great find! The food was super tasty — the menu is your classic pub and bar-style stuff, but the quality was really solid. What stood out to me was the view: it looks out onto a walking track, which made the whole vibe feel relaxed and refreshing. There’s both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can pick depending on the weather. When we were there, they even had a live performance going on, which added a fun touch. The décor is quirky and cool — I think the lights were made from old beer kegs, which was a nice detail! Highly recommend for a chill afternoon or casual night out.

Always a great experience. Great beers… core range is great but they also have some great seasonal hazy, dark and oat cream ales. Staff are always friendly and helpful (especially with heaters for Queenslanders) and it’s a lovely view during autumn with the leaves changing colour. The hero board is amazing for rubs and wings… but you will need 3/4 people to finish it unless you’re Homer Simpson. Pizzas are also great!

Campbells Wines, with over 146 years of experience in Rutherglen, is a family-owned winery that prides itself on passion and producing modern, characteristic wines. The fifth-generation winemaker, Bill Chambers, embodies the rich history of the region and the dedication to continuing the family's winemaking traditions. The hands-on approach and unwavering commitment to quality are evident in their range of wines.
I had the pleasure of spending a relaxing afternoon at the Sunset Drinks event held at Campbells Wines, accompanied by some of my family members. As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink, we were treated to a truly memorable experience. We started off by savoring a glass of Campbells' exquisite wine, each sip a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication that goes into their winemaking process. The ambiance was further elevated by the mouth-watering meal prepared by the exceptionally talented Chef Nick Gardener from Sticks Catering, who also happens to be the assistant winemaker at Campbells Wines. @chefnickgardner. The culinary delight included succulent chicken cooked in sage butter, perfectly paired with pearl couscous that added a delightful texture. The dish also featured charred corn, heirloom tomatoes bursting with flavor, and a smooth corn cream, all topped with the crispy, savory goodness of chorizo crumbs. To add a refreshing twist, the plate was finished with a pickled fennel and saffron salad, bringing together a harmonious blend of flavors that danced on the palate. As we indulged in this culinary masterpiece, our senses were further enchanted by a gifted local musician Patrick Russell whose repertoire included a selection of timeless classics. Patrick provided the perfect soundtrack to our evening creating a fun and relaxing atmosphere as the sun set, casting a golden glow over the vineyard.

As a wedding photographer, I absolutely love working at Brown Brothers Winery! I've had the privilege of photographing weddings here in all weather conditions - from intimate small ceremonies to big celebrations - and each and everyone has been absolutely breathtaking. What makes this venue truly special is that you can feel that warmth and passion in everything they do. Everyone always goes above and beyond - they're genuinely passionate about good food, excellent wine, and creating one heck of a celebration! This venue truly shines no matter what. Rain or shine, I can always find the perfect backdrop, and the surroundings are always beautifully maintained. Their attention to detail and genuine care for each couple is incredible. You can tell they truly love what they do, and that passion makes every wedding feel so special. I can't recommend Brown Brothers Winery highly enough - it's consistently one of my favourite venues to work at. Highly recommend, Rachael Emmily

We absolutely adored our visit to Brown Brothers planned by Sarah who put together a wonderful itinerary for us! The setting is beautiful and the cellar door is so inviting with the open fire, historical displays, and use of wine barrels to decorate the space. We had the most amazing tasting & tour experience at the cellar door hosted by Jacob who was fabulous at teaching us all about the different wines and how they’re made in a way that was fun, informative, and relatable as someone who enjoys wine but isn’t overly knowledgeable on the subject. He tailored the tasting to our individual preferences and there wasn’t one I didn’t like. We ended up buying many bottles both for ourselves and as gifts after discovering some new favourites. We also had the 5 course degustation lunch in the winery restaurant which was spectacular. Each course consisted of multiple elements that worked in perfect harmony and were utterly delicious, especially when paired with the matching wines. The staff were all incredibly friendly and attentive throughout. Overall I would highly recommend visiting even if it just for a tasting, but definitely check out the range of extra experiences they offer too, there’s definitely more we plan to do too. We’re already planning a return visit for next year as we loved the Milawa region and this winery was definitely the highlight of our trip.

We had a wonderful experience with Milawa Luxe Escape, a collaboration of Brown Brothers and Church Lane Accommodation this weekend. The Church Lane Accommodation was beautiful, quiet and private. At Brown Brothers, we were served the Slow Lunch by Henry and it was such a wholesome experience. We do a lot of rushed meals, so having a slow lunch with beautifully complimenting wines got us to relish the efforts involved. The cheese, cured meats and the accompaniments we received to take with us was lovely too. We brought the 2 matching wines before heading back. The next day we had a slow start, enjoying the Church Lane Accommodation, before going to the Wine Tour and Taste at Brown Brothers’. Rosa was warm, welcoming and knowledgeable in guiding us through our tasting, with great placement to help us take better note of the differences and enjoying the complexities of well made wine. We purchased more wine that we selected from the tasting, that we wanted to share with friends and family. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our weekend in Milawa, Brown Brothers collaboration with Church Lane Accommodation - Luxe Escape. We are especially grateful to the people that made our experience wonderful - Sam, Colin, Henry and Rosa.

Supporting a local supplier that delivers the highest quality is such a privilege, and we are absolutely thrilled with our hamper. The hamper itself was packed to the brim with goodness—so much so that some joked about its weight. First-world problems, right? The custom packaging and labels were beautifully designed, with every detail thoughtfully considered. And the presentation? Simply stunning. Not to mention, everything tastes soooo delicious. A huge thank you to the entire Rich Glen team for this amazing experience and the perfectly curated gift. We couldn’t be happier!

Sights & Landmarks
Byramine Homestead & Brewery is steeped in history, dating back to 1842 when it was built by Hamilton Hume as a refuge for his sister-in-law Elizabeth Hume and her children after a tragic event. This unique homestead features distinctive octagonal rooms designed for defense and showcases period decorations that transport visitors back in time. Surrounding the homestead is an expansive vegetable garden, adding to its charm.
We stopped in here to check out the beer and stayed for a delicious lunch. They say their meals are from local seasonal produce, it certainly was fresh and tasty. We had vegetable quiche and fish and ships from the specials board. Neither disappointed, this was washed down with an excellent Byramine pale ale. They have a full range of Byramine beers and ciders which you can sample with a flyte. This was a great little find, all felt very original, and was very relaxing to sit out in the garden area under the trees with a cold beer. 👍👍👍👍👍

What a beautiful afternoon we spent under a shady tree, enjoying a ploughman's lunch, a beer or two and a local white wine. The owners are so friendly and their family is connected to the Kelly's...owners of the land and homestead. The carefully laid out tables/chairs, around the property, offer spots to enjoy, whether for a couple, family, small group gathering. One could easily have an event held there, and if inclement weather, there is an event space inside the cafe/bar at the back. Toilets are basic and separate to the Cafe but easily accessible. Not so sure about disabled toilets. Plenty of parking on dirt at the front of the homestead. There is a separate kitchen which would be the original and worth a peak to get a glimpse of what it would be like back in the day. Near the toilets and very old tree, there is access to the cellar area - a good hiding spot when under attack from bushranger etc. Such a great asset for everyone visiting Yarrawonga and surrounds. A big thumbs up from us. 👍

A great piece of history and well worth the visit if you’re interested in the Hume & Hovell story. The building is classified “A” to be preserved at all cost ….hmmmm….that message seems to have been lost. The place definitely needs some TLC. The brewery was a relaxing break in the garden . Well worth the visit & tour. A shot sample of beer is included in the ticket entry.

Sorry this is not an review of the beautiful old homestead itself. We never got to that. After our brunch in the brewery we were completely incapable of bipedal locomotion. The other half loves a brew, and I will admit to being keen to try their Autumn deal which was a large ploughman’s platter and two beers/wines. However his lordship wanted to have the pie. So rather than miss out on my ploughman’s platter altogether I chose to have the small platter. Just me. On my own. Solo. It really could have fed two. The ladies all insisted they’d give me a takeaway container, but I gave it a good shake! The variety of goodies on the plate was stunning, with some amazing local produce. And us townies forget the joy of an egg produced by a happy chook! The three ladies on deck were spectacular. Without exception happy, smiling and amenable without being in your face. They were also very knowledgeable about the region. It was a lovely peaceful place to dine, and I recommend it unreservedly. Oh, and the other half said the pie was impressive also!

Nice place with tranquil surroundings. Good selection of beers and ciders. Ploughman's player was generous but it seemed like everything on it except the chutney could be bought from the supermarket.
Troy K — Google review
While we did not take the tour of the Homestead we enjoyed beer tasting and a bite to eat. We selected 6 ciders and beers to taste served in 200ml glasses and a Ploughmans platter to share. The tasting room is spacious yet cozy with a wood fire burning. We enjoyed a leisurely visit there and I'd love to go back

Lovely historic place with very nice food and some interesting homebrews! 😱 Great to wander around the homestead grounds without having to pay for the tour. Seeing 170 year old elm trees was pretty amazing also. Well worth the visit😄👍 Check out my photos! ✅

Ned Kelly Museum & Homestead

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Museum
The Ned Kelly Museum & Homestead in Glenrowan is a must-visit for history enthusiasts. The museum offers an immersive experience into the life of the infamous outlaw, showcasing interpretative panels, original pictures, attire, and belongings of the Kelly family. Visitors can explore a replica home on the property and engage with knowledgeable owners who are passionate about sharing their insights.
The history contained in the museum is beyond amazing. We were lucky enough to call in when it was quieter and the owner regaled us with his knowledge of all things Ned - he obviously loves the history of the event/s and it made our visit even more enjoyable! We met Howard (90 year old cockatoo) and his friend Dorothy (the younger woman) which was a bit of fun too. Highly recommend for all ages

The place is easy to find, very interesting and filled with memorabilia from head to toe. The outside is decorated with hand painted portraits. Prices are reasonable considering what you get to experience. We went on a rainy day and had no one else in there with us. Its incredibly entertaining and informative. Highly interactive with lots of thing to see and hear. Atmosphere is awesome and super emersive. The guy running the place is also incredibly friendly and helpful. Would seriously recommend.

We had a history lesson here, staff are fantastic, you are well informed on all of Ned Kelly & other key individuals in Ned's capture , trail, site inspections . There is plenty of memorabilia throughout the town and paraphernalia for sale, t shirts, stubby coolers etc. We spent roughly 2 hours here but are returning on our return from Great Ocean Road Trip. There are Food Shops in the town & staff and locals appear freindly , food was served quick & hot & plenty of places to sit around or park & enjoy.

Pizzini wines were great, providing a nice introduction to the Italian wines the region produces. We went during winter and Pizzini were one of the few places open on the weekday we went. Special shout out to Giacomo, our amazing sommelier, who happily answered all our questions - sharing his expertise from his extensive study and practical experience, whilst talking us through the tasting. Really great spot, highly recommend Pizzini wines if you visit King Valley.

Our second stop at the King Valley region was at Pizini Wines ~ Italian at heart inspired where we were warmly greeted by Karen; Mario and Isabelle. Seated in such a warm and welcoming environment, Isabelle presented us with some tasters olives; caramel popcorn; chilli popcorn and bread sticks and presented us with the wine tasting experience!! Isabelle was extremely pleasant, accomodating and provided alternatives for the individual pallet . We enjoyed hearing about the growth of the Pizzini family, their passion and commitments to their winemaking dream. The surroundings were nice to. We were lucky to also have a friendly chat with owner Fred and hear about his experience and innovative ways of continuing business during the pandemic. We truly enjoyed our experience at pizzini. Purchased a few bottles of wine at the end and couldn’t resist buying the caramel popcorn + chilli popcorn ~ thanks for the lovely hospitality and looking forward to returning and trying out the cooking school.

Stopped in on the way past and we were pleasantly impressed by the hospitality from all, the wine is exceptional and it’s a must to stay for lunch. Bruno was our host and he’s expertise in hospitality is a fine art. The food was perfect in portion size for sharing and highly recommend the octopus, for mains we had the lamb which was melt in your mouth delicious. The views overlooking the mountains surrounding the valley are so picturesque. Definitely on a return to this welcoming atmosphere.

We arrived on a Sunday afternoon, on the grand final long weekend, with no booking. After some wine tasting with John we were seated at an amazing table overlooking the winery.

Had a beautiful birthday lunch. Gorgeous location, delicious food, great service. The honey carrots are almost as good as my nonnas! Bruno look after us excellently. He was attentive and welcoming without being over the top. Didn't feel rushed at all, which can sometimes happen in busier restaurants. Not here! It was absolutely busy, but felt relaxed. Definitely worth a visit, much more relaxed atmosphere than most of the vineyards around here, but still classically beautiful and wonderful ambience.

Mansfield Zoo

Zoo
Zoos & Aquariums
30-acre zoo with over 100 native & exotic animals, plus feeding & overnight visitor experiences.
Totally worth a visit. Even a day trip from Melbourne. We were fortunate to have the zoo to ourselves, and all the animals were happy for a feed. Keep the map handy for a list of what can be fed. Yes I recommend 👌
Sarah R — Google review
Unusual encounter in the High Country! Meet the aging lions, meerkats, bison, monkeys etc plus friendly deers, peacocks & other critters that roam free within the wide expanse of fenced off premises. Entry prices are very reasonable for the variety you find here. It is all very open & casual - the long, beaut tree tunnel avenue with water buffaloes, bison & horses roaming on either side of fenced paddocks gives a bit of a thrill of what awaits here. Kitsch & rather whimsical safari park of the unusual kind...The backdrop of Mt Buller & Mt Stirling plus the surrounding distant ranges gives this zoo a mystic, other worldly charm. Interesting wrought metal sculptures scattered around adds interest & a Melb Tram greets you on entry! Parking is rather limited but I guess the long driveway is the overflow car park. Two hours (at least) to hike around the large expanse, from one enclosure to the next all the while amused & entertained by the antics of the animals. Buy special feed for $3 to hand or spade feed some - a map of layout, species & what you can feed is listed & will be handed on purchase of entry tix. I opted out of feed & found that the critters were expecting it! 😁😁 Baleful glares from the Emus, Donkeys & Deers - how dare you two legged critter cheat us!! Followed around in anticipation by this cutesy trio of spotted deers... Next visit I shall not disappoint - promise! As for "just for the kids" typecast - get outta here!! I had an absolute ball...Watched up close the white lion getting a dental inspection, the mane wolf coaxed out of its den, monkeys interacting with keeper & every enjoyment that watching animal antics bestow. Weekday visit was so serene with only a few other visitors & my lucky timing coincided with an official inspection of the animals. Check website for other details & feeding time. Ice-creams, drinks, snacks & limited packed food is available at the small entry area cum gift shop. Without the funding of city zoos - I am impressed with the animal variety & care. Talk to the friendly staff & clear any concerns about animal welfare you may have. Signage & info could be updated. Gumboots are freely available if ground is wet & muddy - near the toilets. There is limited covered picnic & bbq area. High country has been a dry, parched country for a while now - so now (visited 21/5/25) is a great time to visit. Cooler weather, less buzzing beasties & with so much of manure (poop) everywhere, probably kinder scentwise too.. Pretty exposed, undulating terrain to traverse - so not sure about wheelchair or pram/stroller friendly. Will definitely visit again & put the word out there. This zoo has been here since 2000 & yet few Melb city folks who have visited Mansfield know about it... It is such a click worthy, picturesque setting that the zoo should entice visitors with "paint & sip" days.

We rented a house near this zoo. What can I say? Those were the best moments of my life! Starting from 5 in the morning, horses would come up to our little house! We fed them. And then there were the sounds of birds from the zoo. Since we rented this house to go skiing on Mount Buller, we didn't expect to be so close to this zoo. We visited it and were even more amazed. The people working there are so lovely, right to the core! Many wild animals, and they employ staff. Not everyone would be able to feed such animals as dingoes, lions, and crocodiles by hand. A worthwhile place. I recommend it 100%! We even bought toys at the entrance and exit so that the money would go towards feeding the animals. An amazing, genuine zoo where they love the animals!❤️

A magical day at Mansfield Zoo 🦁✨ Absolutely loved visiting this local gem! Getting up close to the majestic White Lions was unforgettable — with fewer than 120 left in the world, it’s incredible that this zoo is home to two. Though they’re in their senior years, hearing one roar live was a powerful moment I’ll never forget. 🦁💛 Mansfield Zoo may be smaller than the big city zoos, but it’s perfect for a relaxed day out with the little ones. The animals are friendly and approachable — from alpacas and deer to monkeys, camels, kangaroos, meerkats, dingoes, wombats, and more. 🐾🌿 Highly recommend for a peaceful, family-friendly adventure in nature! 📍 Mansfield Zoo, Victoria 🗓️ Great for weekend getaways 👨‍👩‍👧 Perfect for kids
Jiun S — Google review
Lovely place to visit near Mansfield or on the way to Mt Buller. Not often you see lions being fed, being able to chat to the people who run the zoo and get real insights. The animals are beautiful, there's wild deer and other animals wandering around. If you have kids, they have fantastic play spots in multiple spots to keep them busy. $50 for 3 of us, we did 1-4.30ish, was really nice. Definitely recommend, and would go there again.

Not a negative and I know funding is probably very tight but the BBQ’s need to be updated to push timer public ones But in saying that this zoo has a lot going for it and the BBQ’s work fine. In respect to this or healsville zoo this one is well above still

Funfields Themepark

Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Water park
Funfields Themepark, situated in Whittlesea just 40 kilometers from Melbourne's city center, has been a beloved attraction since its establishment in 1985. The park offers an array of activities including waterslides, go-karts, miniature golf, and bumper boats. Entry tickets grant access to rides as well as a water play area for kids and barbecue facilities. With 25 rides and attractions, visitors can enjoy a day filled with adrenaline-pumping fun.
Funfields is a confident establishment that caters to the young and old if all ages. There’s a massive area for picnics and even bbqs, an area that can be reserved for a fee so you don’t need to brave the elements. There’s also VIP huts and seating dotted around every area in the park, it’s definitely a must do on a busy weekend so that you don’t have to find bring the whole camping set. On to the rides, majority of the rides are water based, from a simple water slide to an water thunderous ride for 4 people built for speed and adrenaline. On a hot day there’s a line however not hours long so definitely bearable. Most seated rides are part of the entry ticket however most will run roughly 2 mins and yes I have timed it. Their food option is also very decent and not a rip off. Although service is efficient but somehow I feel a vending machine will suffice for drinks. There’s plenty of lockers but get in early to get the bigger sized one if you plan to roam around all day. There’s definitely enough rides and things to do for the full day so it’s a good way to spend a whole day and for burning off that excess holiday energy and when going to the beach is not an option.

It had been a very long time since my last visit to the water park, so I wasn't sure what to expect. However, this time was truly more fun, absolutely fantastic, and genuinely amazing!

Flinders Street Railway Station is a true gem nestled in the heart of Melbourne, boasting a stunning yellow facade and an iconic dome that has captured the hearts of locals and visitors alike since its opening in 1909. This architectural marvel, with its grand arched entrance and Romanesque Revival style, serves as both a bustling transport hub and a beloved meeting point for generations.
Flinders street railway station is an absolute icon of Melbourne. Known for its spectacular architecture, this train station is a landmark and a central hub for trains. A lot of trams and trains pass by, and through the station day, after day, after day. Buy hey, it's a station, and that's what it's made for. It's a very busy and packed station, so try not to miss your train. Anyways, what I'm saying is, it's a great station. It just is. Would like to see again.

I found this service very convenient and flexible. It was great that one could easily speak to a person if required and that the pick up time was flexible despite booking a specific journey time. My driver dropped me off at a convenient location near my place at my request. I liked that they were flexible on this point too. I wasn't locked into a fixed drop off point that might have meant walking much further home. I will definitely be using Starbus Shuttle next time I fly!

Our flight landed in Melbourne early and with a short walk to the pickup point was fantastic.

After reading the not so great reviews on this page i was rather skeptical about using this service on recent trip to Melbourne.

I would recommend this service and will be defiantly using again. Thanks Starbus.

Our driver today provided us some great ideas for places to visit while here in Melbourne. Not only is that driver great for Starbus his great for Melbourne tourism and visitors. We highly recommend them.

If I could give this company 0 stars, I would. I have been using this company for the past 6 years and I did not have any issues at all.. Until I made a booking and I was told they would arrive between 12:45 pm-1:05 pm. I met the driver at 12:45 pm and asked politely if he can wait for me while I take my luggage out. I was out at 12:50 pm, and I could not find the bus anymore. They left me and charged me $27. I called up to ask if they can reverse the charge as the driver clearly told me that he would wait for me. Anyway, they hanged up on me and still charged me $27. What a great way to boost your profit and operate your business. All the people I know will not be using this company too anymore. Too rude and no manners.

I received a cancellation after payment was made when I was already on my way to the informed pick up location. Please refrain from trying to use this service unless you have time to book it at least 24 hours in advance. I don't think I would be your only customer to try and book a shuttle on the same day of my flight. It would be great if you could invest in a system which stops customers from making same day reservations if this is how you prefer to operate. There are many systems offering this solution these days which saves a lot of headache for both parties. I'm extremely disappointed with the experience I had today and the agent even made fun of my comment regarding the review I was looking to post. I really hope Starbus takes this seriously and invest in a better solution for people travelling to Melbourne.

I had a fantastic experience with Starbus Shuttle! When I got to Melbourne, I called them and the operator was nice and gave me instructions on how to get where the shuttle was at. I was also able to get to my hotel safe and fast. Our driver, Allan, was friendly and such a good navigator.

Couldn't rate this service low enough- poor drivers, always late, unprepared, predatory pricing, vehicles probably unroadworthy. Just don't. I booked with Con-X-ion but got sub contracted out to these hopeless excuses. They advertise departures "average" of every 15 minutes - I waited 30 minutes before a bus came and dropped off but would not pick up anyone and left. Waited another 20 minutes before a bus came willing to take us but had no pre booking information despite all three groups booking in advance All in a rubbish vehicle nothing like what is advertised - looked like they pulled it off the street in a shanty town. Trip back I booked an extra hour early to be safe and was still nearly missed my flight. Worse bus and overloaded. Driver was friendly but he was obviously booked to capacity from all over Melbourne so too many stops meant more delays, 45 minutes late for pick up and still 3 more stops before we could head to the airport. Woeful Wife unfortunately was already booked a month or two after me and had an almost identical experience. Avoid at all costs
