Melbourne in Winter Day 4 Part II
After coming down from Mount Buller, our itenary today is Yarra Valley -> Check in resort in Philip Island. Most of the time we spent was in car! Because it took 2 hours to reach Yarra Valley and took another 1 hour to Philip Island.
The Yarra Valley is the name given to the region surrounding the Yarra River in Victoria, Australia. The river originates approximately 80 kilometres east of the City of Melbourne and flows towards it and out into Port Phillip Bay.
The Yarra Valley is host to a thriving wine growing industry. The area’s relatively cool climate makes it particularly suited to the production of high-quality chardonnay, pinot noir and sparkling wine.[1]
