Very easy to access, well set up BBQ area and park. Great place for a family lunch with a very scenic back drop. Stunning 😍

A hidden gem near Burnie! The short walk to the falls is easy and refreshing, and the scenery is absolutely stunning—especially after some rain when the water really flows. There’s a lovely picnic area at the top and even a viewing platform for great photos. Peaceful, clean, and perfect for a quick nature escape.

Absolutely lovely find! Its beautiful from any angle, free, and easy access. If you have trouble with stairs I recommend parking at the lower area and walking up a gentle incline to get a view from below.

Beautiful and a lovely walk Plenty of soots for a picnic spot and clean toilets The falls are beautiful

Well worth the drive. Easy viewing of the Falls, the carpark is directly above the Falls with picnic tables and lawn.

Guide Falls is an absolute gem! The falls themselves are stunning. The area is well-maintained, with clean picnic spots and easy walking tracks that make it accessible for visitors. The walk to the falls is short and pleasant, surrounded by lush greenery that really adds to the experience. It’s a perfect spot for a peaceful escape into nature. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in the North West area.

Another pretty waterfall that you can easily drive to within a couple of minutes walk.

What an amazing place! It’s bursting with color and textures everywhere you look. I was thrilled to spot two adorable platypuses in different lakes—such a fun surprise! The staff were incredibly friendly and shared some wonderful stories about the grounds that made the visit even more special.

Was $15 entry which surprised me at first, but after walking through grounds you can tell that they’re well looked after. Also saw a few platypus’ and pademelons which was cool! I didn’t eat at the cafe but it smelt amazing when I walked past.

Lovely little spot, $15 per adult without concession, very nice spot for a wander, spent around 2 hours here wandering about admiring the plants, bugs and little creatures. Quite enjoyed watching the bumblebees flying around gathering their pollen. But also was lucky spotting a Potoroo and what appeared to be an eastern barred bandicoot. Very nice would visit again.

Went for the Autumn Spectacular and it lived up to the name. Truly spectacular!! The colours were just incredible. Definitely recommend spending a couple of hours walking through the gardens, around the lake and just taking it all in.

Beautiful gardens and lovely cafe for a Devonshire tea afterwards! Highly recommend you partake in both the walk and the scones.

We were a couple of many visitors viewing this garden, which showcases a spectacular array of Rhododendrons, annuals and perennials in an entire range of colours. The displays in early November are a “must see” and everywhere is an eruption of blooms. A highlight of northern Tassie.

Started with lunch, excellent. We then strolled down to where the platypuses were. Then we went up and around and and should have taken a map. So many sights to see. Coming back again when they are in full bloom.

Very cool place to see lots of gorgeous unique art work, beautiful gifts too. Wall of paper so darn cool, & the paper mache life size figurines WOW, highly recommend visiting & the pictures made from magazines.... Mind blowing 💗💗💗

A highlight of Burnie, a place where you can view and purchase local artisans wares. Also has a good tourist information and Papermaking workshop,...Definitely worth doing. Cafe is busy and average price.

Well worth a visit to watch many various arts and crafts being made. There's also a pictorial history of Burnie and a couple of really interesting installations.

Collection of unique local art and other pieces, including a cafe and lots of local attractions. You can access from the beach boardwalk

Kids throughly enjoyed the paper making tour inside. Learnt alot and even dicided to purchase a paper making kit after the tour. Our tour guide was full of knowledge about all things paper. Would recomend if your in the area and if the weather is not great, as was our case, perfect indoor activity. Also has art work and various other stores.

Made paper, looked at restored coal loader made in Burnie. Little penguins are located by board walk. Local artists display their art. Very interesting.

A must see when in Burnie. Take a paper making tour and see how paper is made. The Makers' Workshop has very helpful and friendly staff, especially Darren on the paper making tour; he's very knowledgeable and passionate about the paper making process and it shows; an asset to the place. You will have the opportunity to ask questions about the process. You also get the chance to make paper at the end, awesome experience.

We attended the moonlight stories show in the night. It’s EXTRAORDINARY!!! The light and the music were amazing!!!

Lovely classic style lighthouse, however views over the ocean from the ground are obscured by foliage.

A great addition to the tulip farm visit. The lighthouse is close by 1km and provides a great view of the lake and surrounding countryside.

So beautiful along the coast. You can drive up even though it's closed through the week.

Lovely walk from Lighthouse to Table Cape much more relaxing than driving between the 2! 20min stroll each way even dallying to snap photos. Path being upgraded so safe for anyone other than true tearaways. One pitch up/down to take care but I am not fitness freak and enjoyed it!!

We stopped here to checkout the lighthouse before going around to the lookout to enjoy the views. You can have a tour of the lighthouse if your there at the right time. You may want to enjoy the short walk from either if you like to park at one and walk to the other. There are picnic tables at each site if you like to stop for lunch or a snack and enjoy the view.

Not a lot to see - but good views over the neighbouring tulip farm and lake. Nice picnic benches but no real view of the sea, and no other services.

This is such a great place! There are lots of planes you can explore and experience, which aviation enthusiasts will love. You can also see some really good planes practicing nearby. Kids enjoy it so much — and children under five get in for free! There’s a DFO close by, and it’s not far from the beach either. Amazing spot!

Such an amazing place. Great for kids and big kids 😜 my husband loved sitting in some of the planes himself. It's well maintained and so munch information about the planes and local airforce and defence personnel. Highly recommend coming here.

It’s not a huge place, but the entry ticket is worth every penny. Despite its size, they managed to fit as many displays as possible. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the planes, and having a seat in a fighter jet was an amazing experience. It’s definitely worth visiting and a must-see place.

My son and I enjoyed ourselves here. The best part is getting into the old plans to get a sense of how older pilots operate. The analog dials and switch gears is an eye opener.

It’s not a big museum but they have tried their best to put everything in, from military to commercial jet. A place where aviation lovers must visit, not crowded and can even sit on those jet. We had a fun time there.

So many things to explore! They have done an amazing job keeping with the original design/rustic feel of the planes but made them accessible and mostly safe for children and young people. Older people would enjoy the history information available in the shed, whereas the outside space seemed more kid friendly. My son got a little scared inside the dark aeroplanes and shed so probably best for ages 3+ years. There is one plane that you can enter that has seats and seatbelts which would be awesome to take your child there to practice if you have a flight coming up that they are anxious for! One staff member was quite firm with a small bunch of teenagers that I didn't feel were doing anything wrong, I think she was worried as they were unsupervised and there are some areas that need careful supervision such as going up very steep ladders/stairs. So probably best to go if you have a small adult to child ratio.

Loved it here, so much more than we expected. Indoor and outdoor displays, lots of information about many of the aviators. The little shop is also really good. Great for all ages.

It has been years since I was last at the Shrine and I cannot remember it looking so well kept and iconic. This area is such a wonderful part of Melbourne to walk around and to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for Australia. The trees around the Shrine are dedicated to various Battalions and units throughout the ADF history. Thank you so much to everyone involved in the maintenance of one of Australia's most sacred areas.

A Profoundly Moving and Beautiful Experience The Shrine of Remembrance is one of the most peaceful and powerful places in Melbourne. The architecture is stunning, the views of the city from the balcony are breathtaking, and the exhibitions inside are informative and emotionally touching. It’s not just a monument, it’s a tribute to history, sacrifice, and remembrance. The eternal flame, the sanctuary, and the hourly Ray of Light ceremony were deeply moving. Highly recommend visiting, whether you’re a local or a tourist. It’s a perfect place to reflect, learn, and pay respects. Free entry and beautifully maintained grounds make it even more worthwhile.

The Shrine of Remembrance is far more than just a monument, it is a moving experience and one of Melbourne's most important landmarks. Visitors should be sure to explore the Galleries of Remembrance beneath the structure. These galleries house exhibitions featuring artifacts, personal stories, and interactive displays. The experience is both educational and emotional. A climb to the Balcony is highly recommended, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Melbourne skyline.

A beautiful and peaceful place that I often visit. The architecture is impressive, and the view from the top gives a great look over the Melbourne skyline. The lush gardens around it add to the serene atmosphere. It’s a war memorial built to honour all Australians who have served and continue to serve in wars and peacekeeping missions. There’s also a museum inside with interesting displays and personal stories. It’s a place where you could sit for hours, switch off, and reflect. Definitely worth a visit.

It is an amazing place to visit, to learn the history of war. You’d better allow 3 hours to visit the place. There are street parking available that peak hours $4/ hour and off-peak $2/ hour.

I were surprised there is no charge for visiting Shrine of Remembrance. Donations are accepted. Great place to visit and learn about Australian military involvement around the world 🌎 The architecture is impressive and the view of the city is breathtaking. Thank you all who sacrifice to keep us safe. Peace be on earth 🌎 🙏

The place is truly grand and beautiful, absolutely magnificent. If you visit Melbourne, this is definitely a must-see. Underneath the structure, there’s a museum that you can visit for free.

Experiencing the history and grandeur of the renowned sporting arena was truly remarkable. The comprehensive tour provided an intimate look at the stadium's iconic features, including the hallowed grounds and player facilities. Engaging with the rich heritage and significant moments that have transpired within its walls was captivating. The informative insights into the venue's evolution and its place in sports history were enlightening. Overall, the visit left a lasting impression of admiration for the venue's significance.

Visiting the Melbourne Cricket Ground was truly a memorable experience. The stadium’s sheer size and historic significance immediately stood out—it’s not just a sporting venue, but a landmark filled with tradition and pride. Walking through the gates, I could feel the energy and legacy of countless legendary matches that have taken place here. The guided tour was well-organized and gave fascinating insights into the stadium’s history, the players, and the cultural importance of cricket in Australia. Standing in the stands and imagining the roar of over 100,000 fans was simply breathtaking. The MCG shop was also a highlight, offering a wide range of memorabilia and merchandise, perfect for any cricket lover. Overall, the visit was both exciting and inspiring. Whether you’re a cricket enthusiast, a sports fan, or just someone who appreciates history and culture, the MCG is an absolute must-visit in Melbourne

Visited the MCG for the AC/DC concert, and it was an unforgettable experience! The energy, the sound quality, and the atmosphere were absolutely electric. The stadium was well-organised, easy to navigate, and the vibe was just incredible. A perfect venue for a legendary show! ⚡🎸

My daughter and I, visiting from England, had a great time on the tour of the MCG. Expertly guided by club member Anne, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience on the eve of the AFL Grand Final. As we anticipated, the changing rooms and Long Room were out of bounds so close to the big event, but these minor disappointments were soon forgotten as the rest of the tour was so informative and inspiring. Should you have the opportunity to also visit the adjoining museum you must do so, as this is a phenomenal experience. Many thanks to Bill, the very helpful volunteer who entertained me here. A real highlight of our trip to the city.

This is the second largest cricket ground. We were welcome to visit the cricket ground. Each and everything of the auditorium was clearly presented to us. We saw the cricketers landing area , their changing rooms , Physio therapy rooms , resting rooms . The ground was being maintained. We also saw the place where the speakers sit , the management sitting area cafeteria and so on . The best part is the museum. Very informative. Must visit whole you are at Australia don’t miss it.

Fantastic venue for AC DC's return to Melbourne in many years. Staff onsite were great to help and answer questions. Sure it's a blast for a match there as well!

Purchased a Tour and Australian Sports Museum Ticket. Best buy! Tour was fantastic and the museum has been well set out. Highly recommend both but if you're not a museum fan at least do the MCG Tour.

The NGV is definitely a must-visit when you’re in Melbourne. The variety of art on display is incredible — from classic works to contemporary installations, Indigenous pieces, and international exhibitions. Every room offers something unique, and you can easily spend hours exploring without getting bored. What I loved most was how thoughtfully everything was curated. The exhibitions had a clear flow, the descriptions were informative, and the overall vibe was calm and inspiring. The gallery space itself is also stunning — spacious, clean, and easy to access by public transport. That said, it can get very crowded during major exhibitions. Some parts felt rushed or hard to fully enjoy because of the number of people. Also, the layout can be a bit confusing at times, especially when transitioning between different sections or locations. A few visitors seemed frustrated by early room closures or long queues for ticketed exhibits. Still, the positives definitely outweigh the negatives. NGV offers a rich cultural experience and is a gem for both locals and tourists. Just try to visit on a weekday or earlier in the day to avoid the peak rush!

I recently visited the National Gallery of Victoria and absolutely loved it! The art collection is diverse and beautifully presented, combining Australian, Indigenous, and international works. The building itself is stunning, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Entry to the main exhibits is free, which makes it even better. A must-visit spot in Melbourne for art and culture lovers!

The NGV is always a great place to spend a few hours, even though it was quite packed during my visit, there’s so much to see that it’s worth it. The mix of permanent collections and changing exhibitions keeps things fresh, and I really appreciated that some of the exhibitions are free, which makes it very accessible. A must-visit if you’re in Melbourne.

My wife and I were visiting from Sydney and decided to go to the NGV as we were walking around the city. We were very pleasantly surprised at the diversity of the art and sculptures in the collections. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Melbourne.

I visited the National Gallery of Victoria on a busy Saturday afternoon with friends. I’ve been a few times before as a local, but this visit stood out because I had the chance to really explore more of what the gallery offers. It’s just a short walk or tram ride from Flinders Street Station if you’re coming by PTV, or plenty of paid parking is available nearby if you’re driving. The building itself is hard to miss, with its large size, striking fountain and man made pond out the front, and of course the iconic water wall at the entrance. Entry is free unless you choose to see one of the rotating paid exhibitions. This time, we skipped the ticketed exhibit and wandered through the many free galleries instead. On the ground floor, there’s a stunning foyer space filled with sculptures and the famous room with the colourful stained glass ceiling, which always feels magical to walk under. From there, you can step outside into the sculpture garden and pond area, which is another highlight. Getting upstairs is easy with both escalators and accessible options. The galleries are currently arranged by region, and it was fascinating to walk through each one and see the differences and similarities across cultures. I especially loved the Japanese and Chinese galleries, the detail and richness of the traditional pieces were incredible. Even though it was busy, the space felt open enough for everyone to explore at their own pace. There were toilets on every level, information points, and staff around to help if you needed directions. The building itself is so large that it almost felt like a maze at times but getting “lost” just meant stumbling upon more artwork to enjoy. We didn’t even manage to get through everything before closing, which only gives me another reason to come back. Everything felt well looked after, and the whole gallery had such a calm, inspiring vibe. I’d absolutely recommend visiting the NGV if you’re in Melbourne and looking for something to do in the CBD. It’s packed with history, culture, and beauty, and it’s the kind of place that makes you want to return again and again.

After Six years，I visited here again. There were many tourists and many interesting exhibitions, which were really amazing. After visiting the exhibition, you can also have a cup of coffee or some afternoon tea here, buy some art souvenirs, and there are many books worth reading.

The National Gallery of Victoria is such a gem in Melbourne! ✨ From the moment you walk in, the space feels inspiring and full of creativity. The mix of classic art and modern exhibitions is amazing—you’ll always find something new that surprises you. The building itself is beautiful, and it’s the perfect spot to spend a few hours wandering, reflecting, or just enjoying the vibe. Definitely one of my favorite places in the city! 🎨

We really enjoyed our visit to Melbourne Skydeck! The 360° views of the city were absolutely stunning and gave us a whole new perspective of Melbourne. Definitely worth a visit if you want to see the city from above.

Our visit to Melbourne Skydeck was a truly memorable experience. It’s one of the best spots in the city to enjoy a panoramic view of Melbourne from high above. The observation deck gives a 360-degree view, allowing you to take in the skyline, river, and iconic landmarks all at once. Watching the sunset from the top was magical — the colors in the sky changed beautifully, making it perfect for photos. Many people also recommend the sunrise view for a peaceful start to the day. The place is very family-friendly, and our kids were excited to spot famous buildings and watch the trams below. The interactive displays made the experience more fun for them. We tried some food and drinks from the café; although the prices were a bit expensive, we really enjoyed the mocktails, which were refreshing and tasty. If you’re visiting Melbourne, this is a must-see attraction — especially for first-time visitors who want to see the city from above. A short visit can give you a great glimpse of the entire city. Overall, it’s a wonderful experience for both kids and adults.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Eureka Skydeck – Incredible Views of Melbourne! A fantastic experience and definitely one of the best viewpoints in Melbourne. The 360° views are stunning — you can see the entire city, the coastline, and all the way out to the mountains on a clear day. The space is well-organised, staff are friendly, and everything feels safe and smooth. The Edge Experience adds a fun little thrill if you like something extra! Great for families, couples, or anyone visiting Melbourne. Highly recommend going around sunset for those magic colours over the skyline. 🌇✨

Melbourne Skydeck was such an awesome experience! The views from the top were absolutely stunning — you can see the entire city skyline. The Edge experience was super cool and definitely worth trying — it’s a fun mix of thrill and amazing views. Everything was well-organized, and the staff made it even better. A must-do when visiting Melbourne!

My 1st stop in Melbourne was here! I mean there is no other place with these views. Definitely a must for sunset, or just night views. You can get drinks and snacks too.

Very good value if you buy the whole package online. The 3D simulator is very good and the views from the top excellent.. and there's the highest bar in Australia at the top.

I wouldn't recommend to get the edge ticket as you can see the view just before it without paying anything. I definitely recommend theater experience! Worth every penny!

Big open place in the city. Lots of people and things to see. Can visit art galleries, museums, or sit at cafes. Modern buildings look cool. Good spot to walk around and take photos.

This is a arts & culture plaza situated across from street from St. Paul's Cathedral and the historic Flinders Station at the intersection of Flinders and Swanston Streets in the CBD. It makes use of 3.2 hectares of space and includes several notable venues for art and cultural events and performances along with museums, galleries and restaurants. You can learn more about current and upcoming events on the Fed Square website. There are a handful of modern buildings with appealing architectural design on the square, making this an interesting place to browse and spend time even if not visiting to attend events. For this purpose you can pass by and spend a few minutes just before crossing Princes Bridge and the Yarra River to spend time at the Gardens or South Bank attractions to the south.

We visited this museum, it was very close to our accommodation.. it’s free to enter however they do have a few exhibits that you have to pay $18 to visit but we did not.. this is a museum that centres on art , some done by indigenous people and their culture .. others done with recycled material, and others from famous people like James Brown + many more .. you can take pictures as well .. there is a gift store and bathrooms on every level .. there are escalators and elevators…

Lovely sky scrappers view from Fed Square in a typical sunny day. Clear views of several buildings in one frame.

Federation Square, located on Swanston Street in the heart of Melbourne, is one of the city’s most popular meeting points and cultural hubs. Overlooking the Yarra River and opposite Flinders Street Station, it blends modern architecture, art, food, and community events all in one space. Fed Square has an energetic and creative vibe. It’s a great place to rest, people-watch, or take in the buzz of the city. The open plaza hosts everything from festivals to public screenings, making it a central spot for both locals and visitors.

Federation Square — or simply “Fed Square” as locals call it — is one of Melbourne’s most iconic and lively public spaces. Situated right opposite Flinders Street Station, it serves as the cultural heart of the city, bringing together art, events, and community in one dynamic location. The architecture itself is bold and distinctive, with its angular shapes and open design symbolizing Melbourne’s modern and creative spirit. What makes Federation Square truly special is its versatility. On any given day, you’ll find a mix of tourists taking photos, locals relaxing by the big screen, and street performers adding rhythm to the atmosphere. The square often hosts public events, film screenings, cultural festivals, and live concerts — making it a true reflection of Melbourne’s vibrant and inclusive character. Inside the precinct, you’ll find world-class institutions like the Ian Potter Centre (NGV Australia) and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI), both celebrating creativity and storytelling in unique ways. Add to that the surrounding cafes, restaurants, and the Yarra River view, and you have one of the most engaging spots in the city. Federation Square isn’t just a meeting place — it’s the beating heart of Melbourne’s culture, where art, people, and energy come together seamlessly. #FederationSquare #FedSquare #MelbourneCulture #VisitMelbourne #MelbourneLandmarks #ACMI #NGVAustralia #CityOfMelbourne #ExploreVictoria #PublicSpace #MelbourneVibes #TravelAustralia #YarraRiver #CulturalHub #MelbourneLife

Very wonderful plaza place. This is a nice place to meet up at, as there are many places to sit and talk about whatever is happening. This place is right opposite Flinders street railway station, which is good, i guess. This place holds many different events and shows, and at Christmas time, has some amazing Christmas decorations, like a giant Christmas tree, and more. Very nice.

Visited TarraWarra Museum of Art in the Yarra Valley and wow - what a beautiful spot! The building is stunning, built into the hills with gorgeous views through huge windows. Their art collection is small but thoughtful. A bit far from Melbourne but worth visiting if you're in the area!!

Stunning grounds, and a very impressive collection of art. Would recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. There’s also a cellar door and restaurant on site which both looked great

The place is stunning, a combination of museum, gallery and wine tasting bar. The scenery is very attractive but calm with water features. The architectural of the buildings were attractive too with all the sunlight and shadow. All the staff are super friendly, especially at the wine tasting bar, a lot of small talk and really let us enjoy the time for the wine tasting, not as commercial as other you may encounter. Also the place is relatively quiet so no need to be rush and face the crowd. if you prefer some quiet moment and for some wine tasting that is not being pushed, here is the place.

We really really enjoyed our visit. The Staff are friendly and welcoming. Well worth a visit and allow plenty of time to explore. Don’t miss the Callum Morton installation on the way in (make sure you go inside)

We went for lunch but stayed for the art exhibition. It was mainly indigenous art, much of which was beyond me. I found some works very moving. It included painting, sculpture, video/sound works and other forms of art. Worth a visit and the restaurant has excellent food though not cheap. You certainly get quality for the money and the service is first class.

We haven't had a chance to visit when the museum opens so we can give a review regarding the external area only. It was a great scenic spot to chill out for get away trip. The best time to visit would be around the autumn season as they have few nice areas with yellow autumn leaves plants. I guess other seasons like spring are also good with leafy pathways and a big pond in the middle. It gives a calm and peaceful feeling when walking or sitting around in the area.

Beautiful artwork, Beautiful architecture FABULOUS VENUE, amazing landscaping. True inspiration

This is a must visit place which takes you back to another time and has an amazing vibrancy. There are many shops but what stunned me was the architecture. I just kept looking up at threat craftsmanship of the people who built this.

Nice building. The decoration is colourful. We had high tea at The Tea Rooms 1892. Will come Back to have a more thorough look at the building again, if have chance.

Visited The Block Arcade early in the morning, quiet and easy to explore. Beautiful heritage building with ornate mosaic floors, glass roof, and boutique shops. Fun fact: it was opened in 1893 and is one of Melbourne’s most iconic historic shopping arcades.

fun visual Melbourne experience & see if you can locate their very expensive, truly delicious classic; cuppa tea and marvellous cucumber, smoked salmon wholemeal sangers! Recommend.

A must visit in Melbourne. If you can make a booking for the tea rooms that’s also essential. A tireless tradition for Melbourne visitors. The architecture and decor still well appreciated by many and the building is heritage listed. Do look up and down. The mosaic tiles, the glass ceilings, the archways and painting. Stunning. Plenty of cafes and stores to keep you busy for an hour. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly fly. Pram accessible. Toilets nearby.

Lovely arcade with some interesting, experiencial shops - aromatherapy, chocolate, cake & tea... All quite attractive... And the mosaics are very attractive, as well...

The Block Arcade Our morning at The Block Arcade was nothing short of spectacular. This historic arcade, with its intricate architecture and timeless charm, creates an inviting atmosphere that is perfect for leisurely exploration. As we wandered through the beautifully tiled corridors, we found ourselves drawn to the various cafes and eateries that line the arcade, each offering a unique and delectable experience. We began our culinary journey with a perfectly brewed coffee that set the tone for the morning. The rich aroma and smooth taste were just the start of what would be a delightful experience. Moving from one eatery to another, we indulged in an array of freshly baked pastries, each one more delicious than the last. The quality of the food was outstanding, with every bite reflecting the care and craftsmanship that went into its preparation. One of the highlights was discovering a small patisserie where the selection of cakes and tarts was irresistible. The flavours were exquisite, and the presentation was simply beautiful. The staff throughout The Block Arcade were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall enjoyment of our visit. Beyond the food, the ambience of The Block Arcade is something to be savoured. The blend of old-world elegance and modern sophistication makes it a unique spot in the heart of the city. It's easy to lose track of time as you explore the arcade, taking in the stunning details of the architecture and soaking in the vibrant atmosphere. Whether you're a food lover, a history enthusiast, or simply looking for a place to relax and unwind, The Block Arcade offers something for everyone. Our morning spent there, enjoying the various culinary delights, was truly memorable. It's a place that invites you to slow down, savour the moment, and appreciate the finer things in life.

Very below average tram stop to catch trams

Nice station.

Nice

It's an interesting place with a lot of history. The staff are friendly and seem to enjoy their work. The actress/guide on the night in particular was very good. The Ghosts! What ghosts? Tour wasn't what you'd call scary in any way but it was very interesting.

Highly recommend add on just $5 dollars for watch house experience and you can see more old gaol not just the experience itself! The staff there are all super friendly. I missed the watch house experience for the first time so they let me go at another day just for it and I didn’t have to buy the ticket again! (The last time is at 15:45) Had a really great time there✨

My partner and I attended the 'Ghosts? What Ghosts?' guided tour, lead by a great storyteller Janette. I loved the experience and stories told, as well as the images we saw along the way. Loved being guided in the dark, added to the atmosphere. Overrall very very happy with our experience, loved it!

It was my first time attending a Halloween event, and it was a lot of fun. It would be even better if there were more interactive elements and little surprises in the decorations.

The sergeant arrested and "searched" us. He told us to surrender our contraband. We were told not to smile but we did! I enjoyed the commentary and looking around.

Great insight into 19th century incarceration. Imposing building with lots of original cells still in situ. Death masks including Ned Kelly Do the watch house tour as an add-on

Was a really great historical place to visit. A must do if in the area visiting, especially the night tours.

Wine tasting and lunch at Yering Station was one of the highlights of our Melbourne trip. I was delighted to try some delicious red wines and enjoy a wonderful lunch there. The beautiful surroundings, elegant décor, and friendly staff make it an outstanding restaurant and winery. Highly recommend.

I was really excited for this one. We went for the wine tasting on a beautiful sunny day, the kind of weather that makes you want to be outdoors enjoying the view. Unfortunately, the tasting itself takes place indoors in a fairly dim room with very little natural light, which felt like a real shame. With such gorgeous surroundings outside, it seemed like a missed opportunity to create something special. During the tasting, four different staff members poured for us. Three of them asked what we had already been served, which made the whole experience feel a bit disorganized and not as smooth or welcoming as I was hoping for. The wine pours also felt quite small -more like a sip than a proper tasting- and I think most people would agree after seeing the photo I’ve attached. Inside, the décor follows a pop-art theme with Andy Warhol replicas. Normally, I appreciate that style, but here it felt completely unrelated to wine, wine tasting, or the heritage of the vineyard. Instead of enhancing the atmosphere, it actually worked against the rustic, old-world vibe that the place itself naturally carries. That said, the outdoor area is stunning. The grounds are well kept, with a beautiful grassy area out front and a lovely lookout point that really makes you stop and take it in. It honestly left me thinking how perfect it would be if the wine tasting were moved outdoors, perhaps with a small kiosk or bar set up in the middle of the lawn. With the sunshine, scenery, and a glass in hand, that would transform the experience into something unforgettable.

You can't fault much here. The service, food and atmosphere is exceptional. However, there was a fault in the steak option that I paid extra for on top of what my parents had already paid for a 3-course meal. It might not seem like a big deal, but since I asked specifically for "true medium rare", not medium, which it ended up exactly being on my plate, that was disappointing, being such a high quality piece of meat. Other than that, it was an amazing lunch, and had me bursting at the seams. I could have just had the pork belly entree and pistachio dessert and been satisfied.

Had a great meal at Yering station. Great service beautiful views great menu and flavours. Everyone enjoyed every dish. Loved my prawn entree. The fish main was perfect. Steaks were cooked to perfection. Front of house Trixie was very professional. Wines were great. Deserts were delicious. Highly recommend will def return.

We had a very odd and dissapointing experience at the restaurant. We had booked lunch using a luxury escape voucher which included a main, choice of wine and two shared sides. The only positive was how well cooked the meats were and how tasty the wine was. Other than that, our experience was very strange. The strangest part or our experience was the use of potato off cuts in our roasted potato side - see picture below. I have never before seen potato fondant off cuts and bits of potato eye served to guests. It's really incomprehensible and unappetising. We ended up leaving the potato dish. The salad was also quite terrible - it literally looked like a Coles pre chopped salad mix that was topped with a few sprigs of dill and some goats cheese. The leaves were barely dressed and very plain tasting. Onto the main meals, which ended up being quite odd as well. The cuts of meat were very tasty and well seasoned. The biggest negative was the random pastry basket served with the pork and holding chopped apple. The basket was pale, undercooked and soggy. It didn't really add anything to the dish. The duck dish was also a bit odd with an undercooked cannelloni filled with pulled duck and cabbage. This was bland and underseasoned also. While both dishes looked pretty, they left much to be desired and not worth the cost or effort. Overall, we would not be back and we wouldn't recommend to others. There are much better choices in the Yarra Valley (and much better luxury escape deals as well). Be warned.

Beautiful Vinyard with celler door and restaurant. Simple elegant feels with vase space. We went to cellar door to get a cheese platter and a glass of wine as we arrived too early for our lunch booking. There are a small number of outside table for you to enjoy the cheese board and wine and it was super delicious. The celler door staff was super friendly and professional, compared to my recent visit to Pt.Leo celler door where staff would just ignored you. We then moved to the restaurant after we finished the cheese board. Lovely open space in the restaurant area with glass wall from floor to ceiling open to the landscape! I was going to do the 3 courses and finish with dessert to share with my partner but the food size was really substantial I was way too full and couldn't even finish my fish main. 😞 My entree of scallops with bacon was so good, a little too much of pumpkin. The barramundi with eels mashed was very tasty as well, but also feel like there are too many things on the plates. Overall I enjoyed my food. My husband entree was great but the main is a little bland. Definitely recommend the cellar door for wine tasting and cheese platter for chill out outdoor on a good sunny day 😎🌞

It was a great experience tast8mg wine at Victoria's oldest vineyard! Awesome atmosphere, nice garden and area to explore on a sunny summer's day.

Melbourne Museum is an absolute gem! We visited after lunch with my son, and even in just a few hours, we had an incredible time. This is a place where kids (and adults!) can learn so much in a fun and engaging way — you could easily spend a full day exploring. The dinosaur exhibition was a highlight for us, packed with fascinating displays and information that really capture children’s curiosity. We also loved the insect area, which was both educational and surprisingly fun to explore. Everything is well-presented, interactive, and perfect for sparking young minds. Adults tickets are $15, and kids go free, making it fantastic value for families. I recommend booking online to avoid the queues. We’ll definitely be back for a full-day visit next time!

An awesome experience! The Star Wars Lego exhibition was super easy to access and really simple to navigate. There are plenty of activities throughout, for both kids and adult fans. It’s a great outing for families as well as die-hard Star Wars and LEGO fans. The staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend checking it out!

Pretty cool place tbh. The Melbourne Museum is huge — like, you could easily get lost in there. Loved the dinosaur section and the First Peoples exhibit, super interesting and well done. There’s also a kids area that looked fun even if you’re not a kid lol. Some parts felt a bit dated though, and a few displays could use more interactive stuff or better lighting. But overall, it’s a chill spot to spend a few hours and learn a bunch of random cool things. Would def recommend if you’ve got some free time in Melbourne.

I took my granddaughter to the Halloween at the Museum on the afternoon of Oct31st. We came a little early so we had to wait to enter. It was such an exciting event for my granddaughter…and for me. Kids in costume as well as the adults. The activities for the kids were great and we enjoyed looking at the gallery in the dark. It was fantastic. Parking in the basement was handy. Staff were friendly but not quite knowledgeable of the wheres and whats that night. Still, I will recommend this museum and this particular event. Its a must see and must attend!

Very engaging museum! •it was a quick visit but very interesting •easy to read information •clean, well-organized areas and toilets •an amazing experience esp for dinosaur lovers! They also have a shop.

We had the best experience at the museum. We went there when there was the Lego Exhibition on Star Wars - the creation were insanely good! There was also a rainforest in the museum - we went in to have a look. We saw the T-Rex show at the iMax theatre too. We had so, so much fun. Absolutely recommend a visit - more than worth the day and money.

This review is only about current special exhibition: Treasures of the Viking Age -The Galloway Hoard. The Galloway Hoard discovered in 2014 had 100 items, a small but very significant find. However, what is exhibited here is a lot less, museum blurb states about 90 pieces but it does look significantly less. The items are spread out in sections - entrances like Viking doorways & "padded" with massive graphics via video & static projections, albeit immersively displayed & easy to digest. The superstars of the Hoard - the small silver vessel with lid, the tiny crystal jar covered with elaborate goldwork & one more item - are all 3D-printed replicas. The reason - too fragile to be transported. I really liked the presentation & background on how the hoards were buried, the trade & marauding routes traversed by Viking warlords that enabled procurement of precious metals from far away lands along the Silk Route. But disingenuous inclusion of other discoveries is not necessary. I would rather hear more about why hoarding was so prevalent 1000 years ago or did I miss this bit? There is enough original intricate pieces that makes this exhibition worthwhile - artefacts like the Silver Cross with the fine spiral chain, intricate armbands (make great copies for olde fashion wrist watches!) & the elaborate brooches. But, but (& the reason for my 3 star review) - Where are the replicas of Vikings - both men & women, depicting how these wonderful ancient antiquities were adorned/worn? This would have really showcased the the wealth of the warlords & their treasured heirlooms..✨️✨️

I came here during winter. But I still enjoy the trip. The gardens looked really wonderful online and I wish it was not a rainy and cloudy day so I could have fully absorbed the beauty of the place. I guess it was just bad luck that the environment was not suited for us that day. Nevertheless we won the day back. I really enjoyed all the variety that was available at the garden. There was a really wide selection of plants, trees, wildlife, and things to do. Definitely one of my more favourite guidance to visit. I would definitely come back again and I have to actually come back again when it's not raining and cloudy. The day felt very cosy and kind of cinematic in a sad movie kind of way. But that was also kind of a good thing. I guess it just matters about who you're with not what the environment or whether is.

Beautiful!! We went in late September when some blossoms (Crab apple) were out...they were stunning! We missed the full glory of the Wisteria though. We took some photo fame photos....that is why I highly recommend coming here ready for photos. Has toilets, cafe and nursery!

I've been a regular to this garden for a few years now and it just keeps getting better. New areas get added all the time and seasonal plants get rotated into the mix. Its such a brilliant example of what a public garden space is supposed to be and its nice to see so many people enjoying plants as much as I do. It's also easily my favourite nursery to get plants from, great stock, lovely staff, even met some other bonsai enthusiasts while I was there. I can see myself coming back here for many more years.

We went on 25th September. Although the wisterias were not in bloom yet (which is what we came for), the crab apple flowers were and they were beautiful! The labyrinth with the red leaves was a nice surprise, and the nursery was also enjoyable to learn the names of some flowers. Although we missed the wisterias, I think it was still worth our visit

We came for Wisteria but was too late and should visit 2 weeks earler for best timing. However, there are a lot of flowers of other species which are beautiful. Lots of poppies today and we enjoyed the visit. There is cafe serving simple meals which is also nice place to rest after visiting the gardens. We also bought some plants from the nursery.

Had a beautiful time yesterday exploring Alowyn Gardens and especially grateful for the care shown towards my elderly mother who can only access such places in a wheelchair. It warmed my heart to see others experiencing this beautiful tranquil space with the same needs. The accessible toilet was clean and very easy to get into with a standard wheelchair. Looking forward to coming back on a sunnier day and with more time to spare. The cafe was lovely and the staff were really pleasant. I'd love a vegan option on the menu but otherwise 10/10. Get there early and make a day of it. It's so peaceful and stunning with lots of places to rest and take it all in. Thankyou to the Alowyn Gardens team! We will be back 🌺🌹

Visited this garden last weekend and it was beautiful! It's just that some of the flowers I wanted to see weren't in bloom. But many others were. I also really enjoyed the vegetable area. So, not only did I enjoy the beauty of all the flowers, but I also gained knowledge and played games in the maze. You need to get a line at the ticket entrance, so be prepare.

Edendale Community Environment Farm is the perfect place for a relaxing, educational family outing in Eltham. Entry is free (donations welcome), so it’s super accessible, and kids absolutely love feeding the chickens and meeting friendly farm animals like alpacas, goats, chicken and sheeps. The gardens are delightful with a spiral garden, shaded sandpit, and quirky recycled-art features that are great for little explorers. Cafe Eden is lovely for a snack or coffee with a view, and the lawns make a great spot for a picnic too. There’s ample parking onsite, and if that’s full, you can easily park at the nearby playground and walk across via the bridge. Recommend for a fun, green, and budget-friendly family day out.

Visiting Edendale community environmental centre was lovely and educational. It’s a great setup and family friendly. There were quite a few school groups having an educational introduction in worm farming and composting. I wandered randomly seeing the chooks, goats, Guinea pigs, sheep and alpacas and admired the garden art features. I finished at the gift shop with so many nice things and bought a bag of organic apples. The cafe offers great and affordable drinks and foods, so I enjoyed my egg & chutney toasty before heading home. Thank you! 💖🌸

Since I found this farm, I often go visit this place with my kids. This farm is run by donation only and you simply do the donation as needed by tapping your card. Everything was so easy and peaceful. This is not one of the big farms but it has all the animals you expect to see in a farm. We loved seeing little lambs jumping around and we had a chance to feed animals there. Really cute to see little chickens in the enclose and they are very gentle with kids. My kids always have fun feeding and touching animals - easy couple hours of fun for kids! I personally did not like the cafe as the quality of coffee was bad and the staff working there were extremely slow and not very friendly. Probably everything in this cafe was over-priced for its size and quality. From my perspective, not good beans nor well-trained barista. As long as I got my coffee and snack from somewhere else, this farm is the easiest place to go! A lot of people just have a picnic! Free parking but it can get busy sometimes.

Amazing place to take the kids. Also ideal for a picnic as you get the nice shade of the big trees. There is a cafe and plenty of parking. You can also feed some animals, so it’s worth the visit. No entry fee, but you can make a donation. There is a small nursery where you can buy some beautiful plants.

Very nice little farm，would be nicer if there is somewhere can have the milk or coffee from the farm.

Great place for all ages especially toddlers and above. Coffee was good at the little cafe. Limited menu for food.

I really enjoyed my time there. This farm is very well maintained, beautiful and free. A donation is only just $3 (pls don’t forget to donate) and chicken food for $2. Great experience for kids just with an affordable budget. Parking can be difficult when there’s a birthday party going on. A playground next to the farm is also a must visit!

Scott was absolutely lovely, extraordinarily helpful and had a wonderful demeanor. The winery itself is very small and intimate, would recommend calling ahead if you want to visit. The wine tasting was great, you’ll get a taste of both white and reds (my faves were the Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon) and we opted for the dip plate for some nibbles, was quite perfect. The views are stellar from the upstairs balcony. Really enjoyed our visit here!

It’s a very sweet winery with a beautiful vineyard view. Great place for family and friends gatherings. Very friendly staff. You can get a good introduction of all kinds of wine here. 👍🏼 They also support local artists here by displaying their art work. Beautiful art work too 💗

There’s a reason the rating for this boutique winery is 4.9/5. Tremendous hospitality by Bob, Dianne and Jo, and wines that are so beautifully crafted, along with an amazing lunch. Dianne and Bob spend time with us talking about each wine their poured, and their process from vine to glass. Also Bob, thanks for the recommendation for the seafood boat trip for Hobart, and more so for that 24 year old drop. The smoked meats (we had the kangaroo) and cheeses and accompaniments were some of the best we have had. We will be back for lunch again. Thanks for having us.

Lovely lovely experience hosted by Scott. A laid-back chill winery run by a young inspiring owner - Scott. Beautiful balanced wines and explanations and knowledge shared during the tasting. It was absolutely adorable, enjoyable time vs big commercialised wineries in Yarra. Highly recommended!!!

A beautiful little winery just outta Yarra Glen, beautiful quiet area, greeted with smiles. Tried the Pinot noir very nice drop. This winery was our 3rd for Mystery Picnic. Give this winery a try……!!

One of the best winery I visited. It's owned by friendly people who have lots of knowledge about wine making. The cheese plate is 10/10, especially blue cheese. They make it in-house. We tasted 7 wines, and Rose has made it to the top1.

This is our second visit to Yileena after our first visit 6 years ago. This became our favorite winery after our first visit, so there was a little trepidation that our second visit might destroy what we have come to love. The second visit impressed us even more than the first, not sure how that was possible. This winery is run by Bob & Diane – a husband wife team who exactly know what they are doing. Diane entertains the guests at their Cellar Door sharing stories about the wine and the deliciously curated accompaniments (Dukkah, Smoked Cheeses, Olives and even Kangaroo ham!). This winery is on a small scale – Bob mentioned that while most wineries harvest 6-8 tons of grapes per acre, their goal is around 2! The entire experience is incredibly personal! We visited during the warmest time of the day, so there were not many visitors, that allowed us an ample time to converse with the Bob & Diane who know exactly why and how they create their wines. The only place to purchase their wine & delicacies is from their cellar door. So be sure to stop by for a tasting or just to shop. It will continue to be a stop that cannot be missed on any future trip to Melbourne! Love from Minnesota!

What a great experience! We stopped by for a tasting, and the lovely lady who served us was so knowledgeable and friendly, walking us through everything. The wine is absolutely delicious, so moreish, and very reasonably priced for the quality. We loved that you can also buy by the glass, grab a platter, and sit outside to enjoy the beautiful grounds. The excellent service definitely made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Best winery that I have visited so far in terms of wine tasting at the cellar door, food at restaurant and customer service. We had a visit last week in a group of 4 plus a dog. Lady at the cellar door was very knowledgable and generous, we were offered even more than 4 wines to taste which is what you would usually get there when doing wine tasting. Food upstairs was excellent, fresh, tasty and very well presented. Gentleman at the restaurant was also very friendly and welcoming with good knowledge around both food and wines they had on the menu. We had the best time at this place sitting outside with our dog pouring wine and enjoying deliciuos food. We hope good service continus and we will definitely go back for more visits and have already introduced this winery to couple of friends.

📍@debortoliyarravalley, Dixons Creek We spent a day at De Bortoli Yarra Valley and it was everything! From stunning vineyard views to fresh handmade pasta, we had such a great time 😍 We went for their Pasta Festival that includes sparkling on arrival, plus your choice of entrees, mains, and sides. It has been so popular that they extended it until the end of July 📆 Of course, we could not leave without doing their wine tasting where we got to choose 8 wines each from the tasting menu. Such a beautiful day out and it is just an hour from Melbourne 🍷 The Pasta Festival $65pp 🥂 Class of Sparking on Arrival 🍳 Choice of an Entree: 🔅Yolk ricotta and spinach raviolo, with butter and sage, toasted almond on broccoli puree 🔅Gnocchi sorrentina with bufala mozzarella 🍝 Choice of Mains: 🔅Paccheri with lamb ragu, ricotta salad 🔅Bucatini carbonara egg yolk guanciale, pecorino, parmesan, black pepper 🔅Tagliatelle with mushrooms, walnuts on taleggio fondue 🔅Squid ink calamarata with squid, capers, olives, and tomato sauce 🥗 Sides: Salad leaves or Potatoes

Had a great time here! The 3-course meal was amazing – the seafood pasta was super fresh and full of flavour, and the barramundi was cooked perfectly. Everything tasted so good and the service was friendly and quick. Definitely recommend this place if you’re after a really nice meal!

Came for a wine tasting with 6 people. Jonothan from France looked after us. He was excellent very informative and read the room well. We all were really happy with our purchases. Loved the desert wines. The Estate Gamay was a favourite with our group. Will def return and highly recommend.

We had an amazing time at this winery! The atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing, and the food was absolutely delicious. A special thanks to Tony, who looked after our group so well — he went above and beyond, taking photos for us and making sure we were all comfortable and having a great time. He truly made our visit memorable. Highly recommend this place for a perfect day out! Love Dragana & girls

The place is beautiful. Did not go during the peak season, but place is beautiful and they had wine tasting open for all. I did not taste the wine because I was driving but according to my mother, it was nice!

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! It was completely different from my last experience. The rides were exhilarating, the atmosphere was vibrant, and I made some fantastic memories. I hope to enjoy the attraction again in the future!

Pleasantly surprised by the upkeep of the park. Good mix of wet and dry rides. Plenty of picnicking options. Would recommended taking your own food as super expensive onsite. Showers and changing rooms very clean. Went off peak and there were no lines.

came on a monday and park wasn’t busy that busy, except there was a bit of waiting at the bigger rides. i spent a last day with my bf here before going on a 3 month long trip overseas and was some of the best fun i had in months. the only thing is that it’s fairly far out to a lot of places, being in whittlesea, tickets are also somewhat pricey

When we went there it was temporarily closed because 17 schools were there but other than that it was pretty cool. Would love to come back here again. And the food was served was pretty delicious

We were meant to celebrate my son’s birthday at the park last weekend, but unfortunately the weather had other plans. I just wanted to share how impressed I was with the team for making the call to cancel the day before, it was thoughtful, proactive and really appreciated. Zac was so lovely on the phone and very professional. We’ve been to Funfields are few times over the years and can’t wait to re-book my son’s party and get back there when the weather is better. Highly recommend.

The new addition of the Lazy River, bumper cars and VIP Huts really add a whole new dimension to this park ! The Huts are well worth the extra money - it felt so private and comfortable with lounges and even a fridge to keep the drinks cold ! The shade and the location really do make them priceless. Kids can’t wait to go back again 🥰

It was great day with kids , plenty of parking , great seats and tables inside the theme park , take your own food and drink , spent the whole day picnic and play, should definitely visit again when open for next season

My now husband, Francis, and I recently had our wedding at Kinglake Forest on 8 March 2025. Our experience with the staff at Kinglake, especially Donna, was incredible! As we all know, weddings can be overwhelming and at times stressful, but working with the team at Forest Weddings felt like a breeze. They made the process of wedding planning fun and enjoyable. We can look back on it fondly, and that to us is priceless. Donna was extremely organised. Being organised people ourselves, we felt reassured knowing that the team had our back. Their communication was seamless and clear at all times. We are so grateful to be able to look back on the wedding planning process and smile. The wedding day was the best day of our lives! Donna worked with us perfectly, ensuring we were comfortable and driving us up and down with the buggy. She made us feel calm and relaxed with her positive attitude. We knew we had made the right decision when we chose Kinglake Forest as our wedding venue. Sometimes, it is not even about the place—it is the people and the team you trust that make the difference. We will remember this moment for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Donna, Ben, and the Forest Weddings team! We know you are no longer hosting weddings, and we wish you all the best in your future endeavours. Regardless of what comes next, we have no doubt the staff will thrive in whatever they choose to do.

Awesome fun. My son and I loved it. The staff were very patient to encourage my son to finally step of the edge of the tree top and down the zip line. It’s a huge step for him overcoming a fear of heights.

Thanks to all the staff at Kinglake Forest Adventures for an awesome afternoon of challenge by choice treetop obstacle courses. It was awesome and we had a fabulous time. We will be back!! 👍😊 And if you haven’t gone - highly recommend checking it out. #kinglakeforestadventures #treetop #kinglake #allthefun #awesome

Amazing place, relaxing, friendly staff, enjoy some time In the forest, challenge yourself to the game. Highly recommended

Awesome place for a school camp or group camp if you want to bring people closer together. I had such a great time and challenged myself in many differnet ways. Thanks to Ben, Alex, James, Liam, Ewan, Biz and all the kitchen staff for planning and preparing everything and for making things run smoothly even thought the weather did not want to cooperate. It really was an amazing camp and I hope to go back there some time in the future.

The team was 10/10 - had so much fun, learnt a lot about myself and my colleagues on a work trip! The kitchen staff made food that was faultless!!! I would say the only this I wanted more of was… my time there! Thank you to everyone, special shout-out to Hammo, our “elder”, who allowed me to grow so much! The three days we spent at KFAC was unforgettable! 👌🏼🤩

Had the most amazing day today. Staff so friendly and helpful - patient with my fear of heights so that I was able to successfully accomplish some high rope activities. Did a bike course which was fun and the surrounding bush is a beautiful environment to be in. Grabbed an electric bike later to try and tackle some big hills! Great day!

Always an incredible experience! I've been coming here for 10 years and my mum did before me with her parents too. Staff are lovely, horses are gorgeous and the whole atmosphere is magical!

Was a very good experience, horses are docile, staffs are friendly and supportive. Boots, jackets, bum bags provided. Wild animals could be seen, kangaroos, rabbits, and even peacock. Strongly recommend to take the 3 hour ride, 2 hours definitely not enough to find your fun.

Great fun day. This was an anniversary present. The horses are great and well looked after. Lots of parking. They can supply bum bags, boots and helmets. Your welcome to take you own. The start took roughly an hour to get everyone on there horses, so be prepared to sit on them for a while. Abit of paper work to do at the start. Nice little trails through the bush. We picked the 3 hour afternoon ride. We got to stop at a little house on the hill overlooking everywhere, we had coffee, cordial and biscuits. With a much needed toilet break. People were helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.

Amazing experience! It was a present for my fiancé’s birthday, and we loved it! It was my first horse ride, so I was a bit nervous, but all the staff were very friendly and helpful. In our group, we had a mother and daughter as our coaches. They shared stories with us, which made our riding experience even more special. We will be back ❤️lovely!

Was an amazing experience, the people working there are so kind. We had never ridden horses before, but the team made it easy to learn. There’s the option to be picked up from Wallan Station making it easy with PTV.

Where do I begin? Wonderful day out for my friends birthday. I was paired with ANZAC(the horse) who was a well mannered gentleman throughout the ride. We were hot to trot and saw a roo, a bunny and an echidna.

This was one of the best experiences I had... I went on the 3-hour trail ride and the staff there made sure everyone was given horses according to their ability and made sure everyone was comfortable with them.... The staff were just lovely - they talked to each one of us and asked about if we were comfortable or not. The way the staff handled beginner riders and experienced riders separately was so good. they made sure that the beginners were sent first and the experienced to canter behind them. I would go this place every 2 weeks from now on cause the pricing for this 3 hour ride was worth every penny of the experience.

Lots of selection of ciders, wine, liquor, which you won’t see in common bottle shop. Very friendly staff 👸🏼with professional tasting introductions ☺️ Ciders 🥂are fabulous with 8 flavours! Love the Hot Chill Liquor 🌶️and the chocolate 🍫one! Great place to visit in Yea!

Wendy was so lovely and helpful! Very knowledgeable. We bought 2 six-packs and a bottle of wine. Easily could've spent more!!! Delicious product.

Stumbled upon this little gem to escape the heat and was served by Wendy who was so lovely, down to earth and loved to have a chat and share her local knowledge. Though we're not typically cider drinkers, we had a great time trying lots of different tastes and ended up walking out with much more than we thought we would! The place could be improved by serving "floats" of the various offerings, whether that be a wine float, beer float or cider float, and some simple snacks could make this an event worthy destination and create a bit more of a "vibe". Glad we happened to walk in, it was a fun hour spent - thanks Wendy!

Good choices of wine, cider, and beer. Friendly owners. They have moved since I was last here. It's now in the shopping area of Yea, near the Royal Mail hotel It's worth going for tastings. And trying the locally produced delights.

I recently won 2 x 6 pack of mixed cider in a raffle , the cider was kindly donated for the Yea Dressage horse riding competition. Have really enjoyed all the flavours, the classic apple cider has been my favourite though. So light and refreshing. I look forward to visiting in person sometime soon 😊

Not only was the staff very welcoming for the free tasting, but the ciders were excellent as well. Special mention for the ‘hot chilli wine’ – definitely worth trying!”

A must stop. Very friendly people who will show you what they have to offer. Beer, cider, wine or port. Free tastings and reasonable prices for the quality of product. Stop by and pick up some tasty beverages. Bathroom facilities available. One step up into the front door plenty of space once inside. Sit at the bar and have a cider or beer, at the table with some wine or on the couch and relax with a port.

We took an interesting stroll through the Yea Wetlands today. Sadly, the information centre was closed. The initial entry to the wetlands is a bit shabby, but we persevered and it was worth it. Once over the bridge to the north side of the river, there is a lot of variety in the flora. We saw lots of birds. Sadly, no platypus and gladly no snakes. I would like to go back after some rainfall to fully experience the wetlands in all their wonder!

Good all weather paths, well sign posted. Good parking, lots of beautiful picnic spots, and a fabulous school education area. All this with abundant bird life. Today in September we were floating through a magnificent cloak of fragrant yellow wattle.

Yea information centre, BBQ facilities and pinic tables just around the corner before you enter the wetland walk. No water access to wash down BBQ, So if you have a bottle you may wish to fill it up at the carpark, The walk was lovely, The suspension bridge is lovely but wood panels feel abit odd. Lovely native flowers and abundance of information, Toilets located within the information centre, With a huge array of Australian made products

Lovely wetlands. Nice 2.5km walk on great track. Has a suspension bridge over Yea river. Free entry and a beautiful centre. A must is the 3 minute video of the wetlands.

Good walking paths through here. Plenty of bird life. It is peaceful here. Small car park.

One of my favourite walks as I love walking through these picturesque wetlands. Easy walking suitable for the whole family and I believe these well maintained paths would also be suitable for wheelchair use. Not an extremely long walk if you just take the circuit but there are ample side paths to explore that all lead back to the main path. Two entrances - one being behind the Tourist Information hut and the other from the carpark. You should be cautious of snakes however as many signs in this wetland indicate.

A nice peaceful and relaxing place for a quick lunch or a stroll. There are shaded benches of decent size as well. We stopped here while returning back to Melbourne though didn't go on a walk around the reserve as we were tired. But we went to Y Water Discovery Centre from over the hanging bridge which is a beautiful location for photography. Discovery Centre has interactive and informative displays, artistic items on sale and clean ambulant toilet facilities. The water in the pond didn't look clean, the walk has huge bushes on the sides and so one must have mosquito repellant if going on a gloomy or wet day.

Amazing stop and the views. May be we were just lucky to see those beautiful clouds due to the time of the year we visited; in June end.

Some bias. Farquhar is my 3rd GGF while John is my 4th GGF. A hidden gem with an impressive lookout and a spectacular view of the rolling countryside. Exudes a sense of peace and tranquilly. Welcoming. Bring a camera. There is a picnic table. No toilets. So easy to sit back and chill for a couple hours and a much needed get away from suburbia. Definitely worth the visit. The information board largely goes ignored. But does have an error. Farquhar was not a soldier. He did come to NSW in 1836 after spending 6 years in Batavia. To get here I drove from Mornington Peninsula went through the "Flowerdale" route. Scenic and pretty drive. A small section is winding. The last road itself to the site is unsealed. Arrived on a Sunday around midday. Empty carpark. Though that steadily changed. Warm. Mildly cloudy.

Great view of the landscape. Nice stop over to stretch legs from a long drive.

Amazing views! Highly recommend to see at sunrise.

It's a good place to stop over while you are on your way elsewhere. The hills and the whole panoramic view are beautiful. There is parking, but on a good day it may become difficult to park off there are too many people visiting. The best time to visit is easier earlier in the day for sunrise, or in the evening to watch sunset. There are a few benches to sit as well. The party of the road is gravel.

Nice scenic drive and a short stop over for photo shoot..😀…fantastic views all around and you can see the beautiful hills and plains around that area..ambient parking and usually a less crowded area..be there around the lunch time to enjoy the views..Sun rise / set views might be good as well…

If you are driving on the way to Mount Buller from Melbourne, this is the best spot to stop. The view subhanallah, magnificent God created for us to admit that Allah is Great and Greatly to be praised. Everyone should visit here !

A great display providing details and insights on the Vietnam War, a number of military items on display, worth a stop to visit and read all the panels of information.

A nice walk in the nature, there’s lots of trees and park benches. The walk looks quite new especially the bins, benches, and water tap. There’s lots of information to read up on the history of Australia’s participation in the Vietnam war. You can take the time to remember the lives and efforts of all the people and dogs who fought in the war. There’s many in depth explanations of Australia’s operations in Vietnam, and there are ranks and military weapons displayed.

Very well put together honouring all who served in the Vietnam conflict. Maps of Vietnam.

Great tribute for the Vietnam veterans, this memorial is well worth the visit.

One of the best Vietnam Veterans memorial that I have seen. Well, worth a look.

Absolutely excellent we loved it.

A very special interesting place to visit Definitely worth a visit Tickets are not required

Good place for a break in your car ride. It’s located on a Dept of Defense property but easily accessible via the gate for all visitors. Just a quick brief and your on your way. The museum has some good history with tanks from both foreign and Australias local stuff. There is a gift shop for some stuff if your little one needs something to play with on a rainy day.

If you like military history , big vehicles with big guns or just to see what goes on in an active military base, this place is worth a visit. Only took 1.5 hours to drive up from Croydon through the beautiful Yarra valley . Friendly, helpful staff and very well presented displays.

In a word.... Fantastic! Well worth the cost of an admission ticket. Over 90 exhibits ranging from WW1 through to current engagements. The Souvenir Shop is well worth a visit, excellent range of items all very reasonably priced. To get onto the Base you will require Photo Identification. The Staff were exceptionally helpful, professional and friendly. Well deserving of its Five Star ⭐️ rating.

Excellent, a wide variety of tanks on display and an interesting museum area. I beleive it is also open on the last full weekend of each month, I went on a Sunday, Google does not note this.

Was great in the 80s and 90s but not sure if you can even go there these days

One of the best places to visit. This tank museum definetly ranks as one of the greatest experiences I've had. Offering up to 80 different tanks and a variety of exhibitions from WWI to the Vietnam War and more. This is definetly a must have experience and not to mention the scenery on the way there is breath taking. Do your self a favour and visit the Puckapunal Tank Museum.

Such a friendly greeting by Meagan and the museum itself was incredible. So much to see. Absolutely worth the visit! Just a couple of pictures.
