State of Victoria Off The Beaten Path

Off The Beaten Path: Sleepy Sunbury
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you are headed out to the Wine Country northwest of Melbourne, then the first town you are going to run into is Sunbury. It is in Hume City Council, with plenty of history. This is where "The Ashes", which apparently is a prestigious cricket trophy got its inception.

    The most endearing part of this city however is the little courtyard of churches in the middle of "downtown". A small park separates three churches, and makes for a nice stroll down this little piece of Australia past.

    Off The Beaten Path: Mount Dandenong - Christmas in July
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you are adventurous enough to head to the mountains in the middle of winter, then Mount Dandenong provides quick access and nice views. It is just 30 minutes out of Melbourne, but the feel of the area is like a European mountain town. Small shops, pubs and tourist attractions make this worthy of a weekend adventure.

    Even at some of the restaurants, they have a Christmas in July menu!

    For more information on Mount Dandenong, check out the page below!

    Off The Beaten Path: Take a Drive to The Grampians
  • Tip Rating:
  • For some of the most spectacular views of Victoria, I would recommend taking a drive out to The Grampians, western Victoria's largest mountain ranges. 177,000 acres of mountains, valleys, and very very old rocks.

    Make sure you give yourself enough time to take some of the hiking trails, to the wonderful outlooks and MacKenzie Falls. Although Sarah and I did not have as much time as we would have liked, I have started a Grampians page, so feel free to click on the link below.

     Nice new Home State! Did you win the meat tray BTW? How settled are you know? Are you a pukka Aussie? If so, can I mention the Ashes ;-)
