Guest MADTOM Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Going away next weekend first time with our new car (4WD) any suggestions of where to go in Victoria. We want 4 -6 hours drive from Melbourne, scenic, mountains, good for small kids, activities that don't cost too much. We aim to sleep in the back of the car overnight on a blow up bed.:biglaugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is lovely down there in East Gippsland, some little towns with Antique Shops/Cafes and once down on the Lakes it might be warm enough to swim (we live in hope!!). Also plenty of bike tracks etc. Or from Bairnsdale you can keep going on the The Alpine route it is lovely: http://www.visitvictoria.com/Activities-and-attractions/Touring-routes/The-Great-Alpine-Road.aspx http://www.visitvictoria.com/Regions/High-Country/Activities-and-attractions/Family-activities.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petals Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I would head up to Bright and stop in at Brown Brothers winery, have a drive up Mount Buffalo, lovely in spring time, all the water rushing down. Beautiful trees in Bright. Can also take a drive over to Mount Beauty and up to Falls Creek or even go up to Hotham. Call in at Beechworth and Yackandandah. My favourite area of Vic.

Guest The Pom Queen Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Ask Paul Furkew he goes off in his 4 x 4 or on his bike so will have some great ideas. We are doing exactly the same up in Cairns at the minute, although we haven't camped out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Pom Queen Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Wilsons prom or Cape Conran I thought Cape Conran but probably too far, I can't believe I forgot the prom though. If you want to see wildlife then head there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
