Day Trip Melbourne maps 52 escapes from the city — one for every week of the year — charting mountains, waterfalls, swimming holes, Aboriginal sites, historic architecture, and snow trails all within 130 kilometres of the CBD.
About This Book
Melbourne's reputation as Australia's cultural capital tends to overshadow the extraordinary natural landscape at its edges. Day Trip Melbourne corrects that — systematically and practically. Authors Evi O and Andrew Grune have assembled a year's worth of day trips spanning coastlines, forests, canyons, rivers, and urban parks, each entry complete with directions by car or public transport, a walking route map, facility notes, and trip highlights. The result is a guide that works equally well for long-term locals who've stopped looking beyond the inner suburbs, first-time visitors with limited time, families, solo travellers, and those with dogs in tow.
