No time to hibernate

By PETER DOUGLAS

TIME to rug up and get ready for winter, ‘Tourist News’ readers.
But don’t fret too much, the cooler months needn’t be a time to hibernate and spend countless hours in front of the television.
Not when you’ve got the beautiful Yarra Valley anyway.
This region is jam-packed full of events, as well as activities to explore, many which complement the unique terrain and picturesque views.
To highlight this point, the winter edition of ‘Tourist News’ has attempted to lift the lid on many secret activities.
These include some of our country’s greatest national pastimes, including fishing, mountainbike riding and the good ol’ fashion Aussie barbecue at a local park.
As many locals know, we’re spoilt for choice when it comes to day-trips and weekend activities.
So, this edition we’re shedding light on Marysville and Warburton, as well as the renowned cafe culture that is almost omnipresent in Belgrave.
However, if you do need to feel the need to retreat indoors, perhaps more to your liking is our guide on the film-going options that are available at The Memo in Healesville.
This beautiful location offers a unique, historic experience that movie-buffs from around the region can indulge in.
For many, it’s like stepping back in time and into an old ‘movie house’.
But if that’s not enough, and if your core temperature still needs a little warming up, we’ve got that covered, too.
Inside this edition, you’ll find a guide to finding the best curry spots in the Yarra Valley.
At the very least, this guide might help many get inspired to venture past the usual fish ‘n’ chips and try something new.
With all this information at your fingertips, there is no excuse not to get outdoors and get active in this great region.
Winter is a beautiful season, so get out there and enjoy it.
