Just under an hour from Melbourne are the rolling hills and
vineyards of the Yarra Valley, popular for cellar-door tastings,
good food and peaceful scenery. The Yarra Valley is home to
Victoria's first vineyards and is renowned as one of the world's
great wine growing regions. Visit the Dandenong Ranges for a ride
on the oldest steam train in Australia, Puffing Billy, through
forests and fern gullies, or browse antique shops, cool-climate
gardens, craft shops and tea houses.
