Start your day with a visit to the Brighton Bathing Boxes, a vibrant array of over 90 small, colorful wooden huts lining the beach in Brighton. Initially built in the early 19th century as changing rooms and storage for beachgoers, these iconic structures now serve as storage for surfboards, tables, kayaks, and more. Most are municipal property, while some are privately owned and passed down within local families, with prices starting at around AUD 260,000. Each box is uniquely painted, with the most famous featuring Australian flags and kangaroos. Next, head to Moonlit Sanctuary, an award-winning wildlife conservation park. Engage with over 70 species of Australian wildlife, including kangaroos, wallabies, and koalas, in a spacious environment that adheres to social distancing guidelines. Continue to Pt. Leo Estate Winery, a winery offering wine tastings, sales, and possibly vineyard tours, allowing visitors to learn about the winemaking process and enjoy fine wines. Visit Ashcombe Maze and Lavender Gardens, a 25-acre garden paradise on the Mornington Peninsula, featuring Australia's oldest and most famous hedge maze, a circular rose maze, and a year-round flowering Lavender Labyrinth. The gardens also include various themed areas such as an orchard, pot garden, rock garden, and more, offering a delightful exploration of nature's beauty. Take a ride on the Arthurs Seat Eagle, a cable car that takes you over the lush tree canopy, providing panoramic views of the beaches and dramatic coastline of the Mornington Peninsula. Enjoy free time at Rosebud Beach, a picturesque beach on the Mornington Peninsula, known for its clear waters and family-friendly environment. The beach stretches for about 9 kilometers, backed by a 100-meter wide foreshore reserve that includes facilities like a 300-meter long jetty, boat ramp, and swimming areas. See the Rosebud Pier, extending about 300 meters into the water opposite Jetty Road, a significant landmark in Rosebud. It serves as an excellent spot for fishing and enjoying the seaside views. Finally, visit Murrays Lookout, situated on Arthurs Seat in the Mornington Peninsula, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Rosebud and Port Phillip Bay.
