Although only an hours drive away from Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula seems like it is a world away.
Visitors will be forgiven for thinking they have left Australia when they arrive in Mornington as the vineyards, olive groves and weather are reminiscent of what travellers would expect in the Mediterranean. This cosmopolitan seaside village with its sidewalk cafes, colourful bathing boxes and renowned gallery is a must visit destination for those on holiday in Melbourne. There is plenty to explore on the Mornington Peninsula for those on holiday in Australia. Visitors can travel the length of the coastline, stopping at various seaside villages, or just meander back and forth from one coast to the other on country roads with glorious views.
