Mornington
Region
The grandeur
of its coastline, glimpses of wind filled sails, distant views of
a shimmering city skyline and the heritage of the district give
Mornington its unique character. Main Street Mornington has retained
its historic maritime flavour yet offers all the services and facilities
expected in the 90s. It has the cosy feel of a seaside resort. Seven
day shopping makes it an ideal destination for those with special
interests in fine foods, antiques and art. more...
The
Hinterland
of the Mornington Penisula is crowned by a range of well wooded
hills that constantly beckon to travellers to leave the highways.
Sitting 300 metres above Port Phillip Bay just a stone's throw away
from the city, Arthurs Seat commands spectacular views in every
direction. To the west, Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne's nautical playground
dominates the scene as far as the eye can see and to the east, the
misty mountains of the great dividing range seem to float upon the
horizon with Western Port Bay and French Island in the foreground.

Westernport
to Cape Schanck
Westernport Bay, so close to and so unlike Port Phillip Bay,
is relatively unfamiliar to most Victorians and yet has gained world-wide
significance for its wetlands with their strange plants and ecological
diversity.
Hastings, the main town on Western Port has a population of 6500
and some significant industries attracted by its natural deep water
harbour. The activities of large shipping, a fishing fleet, an active
yacht club and an impressive marina accommodating 500 power boats
and yachts give the town a busy seafaring atmosphere. more...
Southern
Peninsula (Safety Beach to Portsea)
The stretch of the Peninsula from Safety Beach to Portsea is the
year-round playground for visitors and those escaping the hustle
and bustle of the city. The foreshore is ideal for families as it
offers the opportunity to camp close to many beautiful safe beaches
and the area has many activities to enjoy whether it be fishing,
water sports, golfing, bush and beach walking, trail riding or just
relaxing on the beach soaking up the sun. While the Mornington Peninsula
is at its most popular in summer, there is an attraction to visit
or something to do all year-round.
