Liz, thanks for your comment. It’s always great to get a local perspective and glad that we were able to capture a bit of the spirit in a relatively short time. Mornington Peninsula has been recommended by quite a few people and we’ll certainly visit next time.

Thanks also for the other corrections — I’ve fixed them in the article.

Just a couple of observations – the Brighton changing huts you mention are locally referred to as bathing boxes. And please do not call koalas “bears”. They are marsupials and no relation to bears at all.
Looking forward to reading your other articles and seeing all your photos. Liz

It’s always hard to fit everything in when there is so much to see, do and eat/drink in a relatively short period. There were other travel bloggers who visited Mornington Peninsula earlier in the year, so stay tuned for some of their stories. Now we have another place to look forward to when we return. Pinot Noir is one of our favorite varietals…

Thanks for the advice!

You have some of the world’s best wine (specifically pinot noir and chardonnay), beautiful scenery and hidden private beaches, as well as lots of vineyard activities, hot springs and adventure parks (where you can go tree surfing!!!)

Just take a look at some of the coastline (oh and you can surf):

We always try to provide our readers with experiences or information that we would have liked to have known about before our trip. And often, that means creating a rather thorough guide. It may take longer than some other posts, but it’s worth it 😉

Thanks for the tip!

Birthe, it was quite a tour that we did with G Adventures, especially as there was such diversity of experiences in that relatively short time period. Even with our limited drive in the Outback, I can imagine your adventures driving through there 🙂

If you love the underwater world, check out Exmouth in Western Australia during your next visit. It wasn’t dive season during our visit, but we did go snorkeling at Cape Range National Park and it was truly incredible. So I can only imagine that diving would be even better 🙂

I feel that the more that I see of the world the more I realize this – that it’s not possible to do and see it all. And, that’s actually OK – it’s good to know there will always be more to explore and see!

One of our favourite parts of our 3 month road trip through Australia was definitely diving the Great Barrier Reef! Oh, how we love the underwater world! And Kata Tjuta (and of course Uluru) was absolutely amazing as well. Your blogpost took me right back to Australia. Thanks!
