5. YARRA VALLEY Rolling green hills, rows of ripening grapes on the vine, luscious fruits, cheeses and wine tasting are what the Yarra Valley promises its visitors. Under an hour’s drive from Melbourne, the Yarra Valley is the ideal getaway region for a weekend or a mid-week getaway.
The Yarra Valley is famous for its wine, fresh food and breathtaking scenery. The place where Victorian winegrowing started, the Yarra Valley is now home to over 55 wineries, most of which offer cellar door tastings and sales.
The Yarra Valley is richly endowed with some of the most beautiful countryside in Victoria. Distant blue ranges, rolling hills strung with vines, towering trees, and verdant valleys with pristine rivers make up the spectacular scenery on offer around Marysville and Warburton.
6. BAROSSA VALLEY The Barossa Valley is Australia’s best-known wine region, both nationally and internationally, and is South Australia’s most visited tourist destination. Only 70km North of the beautiful city of Adelaide, the Barossa Valley has a unique beauty of its own. The vine-covered plains and hills surround the charming townships of German heritage buildings, and the Lutheran churches with their distinctive square spires dot the rural landscape throughout.
Fifty wineries dot the Barossa and Eden Valleys in between historic buildings, galleries, cafes and restaurants, only 60 kilometres, 37.5 miles, from Adelaide.
7. MARGARET RIVER The Margaret River Wine Region covers the area between Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin and east to Busselton, enveloping a cluster of towns, each with its own distinct personality.
The popular seaside town of Busselton features the longest wooden jetty in the southern hemisphere – a great fishing spot or the perfect place to enjoy a serve of fish and chips.
Busselton Jetty has been described as Australia’s greatest artificial reef and is host to an awe inspiring forest of vividly coloured tropical and sub tropical corals, sponges, fish and invertebrates.
Busselton’s tranquil waters are an aquatic playground for water-skiers, snorkellers and scuba divers. An underwater observatory allows visitors to experience one of Australia’s most fascinating artificial reefs – without getting wet.
Further west, along the coast of north-facing Geographe Bay, is Dunsborough. Blessed with sheltered beaches and beautiful forests, scenic walk trails are easy to find. It’s also a highly regarded diving spot boasting the world renowned HMAS Swan dive wreck.
Augusta is the most south-western point of the state, where the Indian and Southern oceans meet. Whales play off the coast here from June to December, and can be easily spotted from the historic Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse.

HAMILTON ISLAND Perfectly situated in The Great Barrier Reef, amongst the 74 Whitsunday Islands, Hamilton Island offers an experience like no other: glorious weather, azure waters, brilliant beaches, awe-inspiring coral reefs, fascinating flora and fauna, fine food and wines, and activities almost too numerous to mention
