A magical road trip. The views at every turn are breathtaking, and then you come to the 12 Apostles.
Easier to do as a day trip on an organised tour or with self drive, its a good idea to overnight at Apollo Bay.

The largest colony of fairy penguins in the world. Magical to see them come home at dusk.
Easier to book on a guided tour, rather than drive back to Melbourne in the night.
It can get cold - so take warm clothing, and ideally a flask of something hot to drink

T'Gallant has to be one of my favourite places to stop off in the Mornington Peninsula, after a morning of looking around artist galleries.
Love their wines, and it pairs well with the woodfired pizzas on offer.
The strawberry farm across the road is great for strawberry picking, if you have the energy, or maybe settle for an ice cream or strawberries and cream

A royal old lady, the largest wet market in the southern hemisphere, and well worth the visit.
On a Sunday, there are some great shopping bargains and music, but also great to explore the Deli hall and the Food Hall, grab some treats and listen to the music.
The night markets add a new spin, to eating out, when they are on
