Melbourne is a magical city. But Go Beyond Melbourne and you’ll discover the pure alchemy of four extraordinary regions. Travelling between them is simply effortless – and what you discover along the way will stay with you forever. A WORLD OF CONTRASTS The Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges, Phillip Island, the Mornington Peninsula, Geelong and The Bellarine. Four very different regions, four totally different experiences, which you’ll only fully discover when you spend a few days beyond the city. You can travel effortlessly from mist-wreathed mountain forests to perfect white sandy bays in just 90 minutes. From floating over Yarra Valley vineyards in a hot air balloon at dawn to watching Phillip Island’s penguins waddle up the beach that evening. From riding the 100-year old Puffing Billy steam train through the Dandenongs or wading with platypus at Healesville Sanctuary, to hotlaps around an island Grand Prix Circuit or a lantern-lit wildlife tour – in the same day, without missing a beat. Explore award-winning golf courses and wineries, or dive in to swim with dolphins and seals, snorkel with sea dragons or sink into natural geothermal springs on the Mornington Peninsula, then cruise by ferry across Port Phillip Bay to Queenscliff and follow the Bellarine Taste Trail. The next morning, learn to throw a boomerang, get a taste for bush tucker and learn about ancient dreaming stories at Narana. No wasting time returning to the city in peak hour traffic each night. Simply motor on to your next destination (in about 90 minutes) and relax in accommodation you simply can’t experience in the city: vineyard estates, historic mansions, peaceful country retreats, luxury seaside apartments, romantic B&Bs. Welcome to PLANNING SEAMLESS VISITOR JOURNEYS All four Go Beyond Melbourne regions link to each other or Melbourne via either 60-minute or 90-minute drives, or a scenic cross-bay ferry cruise. Think of Go Beyond as looping, not linear. Planning a visitor itinerary depends on number of travel days, visitor interests and key activities. Within those parameters, there are oodles of choices. You can link two, three or all four regions and create a seamless journey for visitors – a looping route that transitions effortlessly onto the next region without any need to return to the city overnight.

Melbourne is a magical city. But Go Beyond Melbourne and you’ll discover the pure alchemy of four extraordinary regions. Travelling between them is simply effortless – and what you discover along the way will stay with you forever.

A WORLD OF CONTRASTS

The Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges, Phillip Island, the Mornington Peninsula, Geelong and The Bellarine. Four very different regions, four totally different experiences, which you’ll only fully discover when you spend a few days beyond the city.

You can travel effortlessly from mist-wreathed mountain forests to perfect white sandy bays in just 90 minutes. From floating over Yarra Valley vineyards in a hot air balloon at dawn to watching Phillip Island’s penguins waddle up the beach that evening.

From riding the 100-year old Puffing Billy steam train through the Dandenongs or wading with platypus at Healesville Sanctuary, to hotlaps around an island Grand Prix Circuit or a lantern-lit wildlife tour – in the same day, without missing a beat.

Explore award-winning golf courses and wineries, or dive in to swim with dolphins and seals, snorkel with sea dragons or sink into natural geothermal springs on the Mornington Peninsula, then cruise by ferry across Port Phillip Bay to Queenscliff and follow the Bellarine Taste Trail. The next morning, learn to throw a boomerang, get a taste for bush tucker and learn about ancient dreaming stories at Narana.

No wasting time returning to the city in peak hour traffic each night. Simply motor on to your next destination (in about 90 minutes) and relax in accommodation you simply can’t experience in the city: vineyard estates, historic mansions, peaceful country retreats, luxury seaside apartments, romantic B&Bs.

Welcome to

PLANNING SEAMLESS VISITOR JOURNEYS

All four Go Beyond Melbourne regions link to each other or Melbourne via either 60-minute or 90-minute drives, or a scenic cross-bay ferry cruise. Think of Go Beyond as looping, not linear.

Planning a visitor itinerary depends on number of travel days, visitor interests and key activities. Within those parameters, there are oodles of choices. You can link two, three or all four regions and create a seamless journey for visitors – a looping route that transitions effortlessly onto the next region without any need to return to the city overnight.
