Tall mountain ash forests guide us into the spectacular Blue Dandenong Ranges. 

Travel through the picturesque Yarra Valley to Healesville Sanctuary. A guided tour and Gray Line special VIP Meet and Feed adds a nice component.


Wildlife Encounters is exactly what you will experience at Healesville Sanctuary but not before a generous spit roast lunch at Fergusson Winery. To satisfy your sweet tooth, sample some chocolates at Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery. Then it is on to Healesville Sanctuary, home for over 200 species of Australian birds, mammals and reptiles all set in a natural bushland setting. It is such a delight to walk around!
