Lonely Planet.
Australia isn’t short of beaches, wildlife or fine wine, but it’s rare to find all three in the same region. Enter: the Mornington Peninsula, just 50km from Melbourne, where you can indulge in a winery lunch and watch wild kangaroos, before relaxing by the sparkling seaside to watch the sunset. Flanked by Port Phillip Bay on one side and Western Port on the other, the Mornington Peninsula has more restaurants, vineyards and activities than you can fit into one visit.
