• Your vacation begins with a pleasant flight from Singapore to Melbourne - the "Garden City" of Australia.

• Melbourne City Sightseeing - Drive past St Patrick's Cathedral, Fitzroy Garden, Arts Centre Melbourne, Yarra River and Federation Square.
• South Melbourne Market - A treasured inner city landmark since 1867. One of Melbourne's most popular market featuring a huge variety of fresh food, clothing, gifts and services.
• Werribee Open Range Zoo - Experience your own African style safari with off-road animal spotting adventure. You will be completely immersed in the sights, smells and sounds of the savannah as you travel across the Zoo's open plains.

Note: South Melbourne Market will be closed on every Mondays, Tuesday & Thursday and replace with Queen Victoria Market or Pacific Werribee Shopping Centre.

• Bird Feeding - This is a unique and one-off feeding area as there is nowhere else in the Dandenong Ranges that hand feeding native birds is allowed. You'll meet Cockatoos, Rosellas and Parrots up close.
• Yarra Valley Chocolaterie - Indulge in the fine range of unique handmade chocolate products and try the delicious home-made ice cream made fresh from locally sourced ingredients and seasonal fruits and huge variety of freshly made fudge.
• Rayner's Stone Fruit Orchard - Go on a tractor fruit tasting tour through the groves of stone fruit trees with the orchard guide. Sample different varieties of seasonal fruits.
• Local Winery - Visit the picturesque landscapes of Yarra Valley wineries and stop for wine tasting.

• Loch Ard Gorge - Stand on top of the cliff and you'll be amazed at the sheer size of the cliffs and the narrow opening out to sea at the Loch Ard Gorge. In rough weather the crashing waves put on quite a show.
• The Grotto - Step down to this geological formation created when sinkholes in the limestone cliffs met with a receding cliff line. Feel the eeriness of the still, clear water of the Grotto in contrast to the ocean.
• London Bridge - Witness London Bridge, originally a natural archway and tunnel in an offshore rock formation. However, it collapsed in 1990 and became a bridge without a middle.
• 12 Apostles - Witness the rugged splendour of the famous 12 Apostles, magnificent rock stacks that rise up from the Southern Ocean on Victoria's dramatic coastline.

• Sovereign Hill - travel back in time and explore the stage coach route along the Western Highway to Ballarat. Tour through the beautiful town, walk through its gardens, and get a chance to see the magnificent architecture of the 1850s.
• Gold Pour - The story of gold in Ballarat, from discovery and processing to the pouring of a spectacular gold ingot.
• Gold Panning - see early mining equipment and try your hand at gold panning at Red Gully Creek just like how they did it back in the day.
• Red Hill Mine Tour - Discover what life was like underground. Head deep underground on a guided mine tour and get an understanding on how dark and dangerous deep lead mining actually was!
