Melbourne's must-visit natural attractions

Melbourne is located on the southeast coast of Australia, in a plain area, with abundant natural resources and wildlife. In addition to koalas and kangaroos, you can also see the world's cutest and most adorable little blue penguins in Melbourne. Let's take a look at where these places close to nature are!

Phillip Island

Phillip Island is truly an animal paradise. The island is home to the world's smallest penguins—the Little Blue Penguin Sanctuary, the Koala Conservation Centre, and the Churchill Island Heritage Farm. At sunset, you can see penguins returning from the sea in groups, waddling together in a very amusing manner, with up to more than 3,000 penguins at a time.

Mount Buller

Mount Buller Natural Ski Resort is the largest, most popular, and best-equipped ski paradise in Victoria. It offers multiple high-quality ski trails, providing a wonderful skiing experience for both beginners and advanced skiers.

Dandenong Ranges

In the Dandenong Ranges, there are so many interesting things worth doing: ride the Puffing Billy, Australia's oldest steam train, as it travels through lush forests and fern-filled gullies; hike in the Dandenong National Park to explore the secrets of the forest; you can also buy fresh and cheap farm produce here, which tastes amazing!

Apollo Bay

Apollo Bay is a midway stop on the Great Ocean Road. To the east and west of Apollo Bay, there are spectacular bay views. The lagoon next to the town of Lorne is the most impressive lagoon along the Great Ocean Road. The lake is wide and expansive, with dense reeds along the shore, making it a habitat for seabirds and migratory birds. Occasionally, white swans and black swans visit, making it an ideal place for sketching, photography, and creative inspiration.

Brighton Bay

Brighton is a famous seaside attraction in Melbourne, with colorful huts on the beach. The beach is always crowded with tourists, and activities such as surfing, diving, and sunbathing are all very exciting.
