HELLO and welcome to our 48-page bumper edition of Tourist News.
We at Tourist News love all seasons in the Yarra Ranges, but there is something a little special about summer, isn’t there?
Most likely because it’s a great time to spend with your loved ones and get out there and explore the wider region.
The Yarra Ranges is often listed as one of the country’s must-see tourist destinations and it’s calling your name this summer.
With so many options at your fingertips, why wouldn’t you take up the offer.
To help you lock in a fun-packed itinerary, we’ve prepared a whole host of options.
Just for starters, we’ve looked closely at all the hot-spots you should never drive past.
We have sourced and presented to you the best places to stop and enjoy along the Valley’s three major highways, the Maroondah, Melba and Warburton.
Then, there is the amazingly beautiful Dandenong Ranges, with countless options served up in the towns of Sassafras, Kallista and more.
We’ve tried to include all those little places in between, which may help with the summer school holidays, such as local parks and skate parks, not to mention the many beloved swimming spots.
But we haven’t forgotten country racing, the wineries and the office favourite, U-pick.
So, whatever you have planned, make the most of it and explore the best of the Yarra Ranges.
Delve into this summer and try something new.
