The Australian state of Victoria sits right up there amongst some of the best places to do a road trip in the world by virtue of its compact diversity that packs in so much charm too. Go beyond Melbourne, take in the diversity and prepare to be enchanted.
Yarra Valley and the Dandenong Ranges
Perfect for a couple looking for a romantic getaway for night or two is the Yarra Valley. Though only a 45-minute drive from Melbourne, the Yarra Valley will have you feeling a world away. Here you are spoilt for choice with quality local food and wine, breathtaking scenery, romantic places to stay and indulgent adventures.
You can either certainly sleep in and indulge in a late breakfast, or go for a dawn hot-air balloon flight. Floating 2000 feet above the Yarra vineyards with a view of the valley draped in the early morning mist and the newly risen sun bashful within the clouds is a memorable experience. As is the champagne breakfast following the flight.
Feed your fascination further by visiting Healesville. Located right in the centre of Yarra Valley's food and wine district, Healesville is also home to some of the region's most talented artists.
