Berrys Beach
National park
👍👍 If you're planning a trip to Phillip Island, you can't miss Berrys Beach. Seriously, this place is a hidden gem. The sand is super soft, perfect for a chill day or building sandcastles if that's your thing. If you're into surfing or just want to lay back and soak up the sun, this place has got you c...

Mount Dandenong Observatory image

Mount Dandenong Observatory
Observation deck
🫤 Bit disappointed! Well, a good place for parking and family sit-up with small walkways around. At entrance, you'll be charged $8/car for entry and will be given a map. Funny thing is, most of the spots inside are either closed or you'll be extra charges to enter or looks so cliche! And that's what m...

Arthurs Seat MTB Park South Entrance image

Arthurs Seat MTB Park South Entrance
National park
🫤 Undoubtedly, it is only suitable for the enemy to exercise and ride a bicycle. It is not suitable as a tourist attraction. You can walk 1100 meters to reach a small lake, but half of the road is a very steep slope, which is very tiring. There are only some of Australia's most trash trees-eucalyptus...

Dandenong Ranges Horse Trail Rides
Horseback riding service
👍 $60 for an hour, easy access plenty of parking. Min 12 years old. The only thing I rate it at 4 instead of 5 is the ride was slow, my DD got paid up with some first timers which squirm at any movement so the ride kept stopping every few minutes. Would have been ok i they let my DD do 2 hours of rid...

French Island National Park image
15
French Island National Park
National park
👍 Lots of koalas, flies and snakes! Highly recommend hiring/bringing a bike (the walks from the jetty are mostly track roads, with limited views). Much more to explore with a bike. Koalas are everywhere, and you can expect to see 10+ on a day visit at least. Be careful for snakes (we saw a few), and...
