What To Expect
Brighton Beach
These colorful bathing boxes were originally built in the early 1900s as changing sheds. Today, they’re privately owned and can cost over $300,000 each — despite having no electricity or running water! They’ve become one of Melbourne’s most photographed landmarks. Take your time to enjoy the views of Port Phillip Bay and snap some photos of the vibrant boxes with the city skyline in the background.
Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park
Here at Moonlit Sanctuary, you can handfeed kangaroos and wallabies, see koalas up close, and learn about wombats, dingoes, and colorful bird species. The park is dedicated to wildlife conservation, so you’ll also hear about their efforts to protect endangered species. This is the perfect opportunity to experience Australian animals in a natural bushland setting. After our wildlife experience, we’ll stop for lunch at the café here, they serve a variety of Australian style meals and drinks, so it’s a convenient spot before we continue towards Phillip Island.

Nice guy but just a driver

4.00Sam is very nice. But he is more a driver than a guide. He was very quiet and told us nothing of what we were seeing along the way. It would have been nice to learn about the country we were seeing.
A tour to recommend.
