Mornington and Phillip Island
Port Phillip Bay and its peninsulas offer the ideal setting for a short break close to Melbourne.
Phillip Island is 90 minutes south of Melbourne and a popular surfing destination. With its myriad of natural and man-made attractions there is much to see and do on Phillip Island. Koalas live in the trees around the island and can be seen at the Koala Conservation Centre where their behaviour can also be studied. Every evening little penguins come ashore at Summerland Beach to return to their burrows in the dunes. A rocky outcrop just off the coastline is home to Australia’s largest colony of seals.
Port Phillip Bay and ocean beaches are separated by only a few minutes culminating in the coastal splendour of the Mornington Peninsula National Park between Flinders and Point Nepean. Nearly 40 wineries comprise Australia’s only wine region where seascapes and vines combine so closely in a patchwork of natural colour.
