🌏 MELBOURNE → LODDON VALLEY 🏙️📅 SUN 19 OCT, DAY TRIP ☀️
📸 Venture Far and Wide, Experience Fully✨
-----------------------------
✨ Step out of the city and into the timeless charm of Loddon Valley — where golden-era streets meet tranquil bushland and country hospitality.
☕ After a welcoming morning tea, we’ll set out on an easy hike through quiet trails, breathing in crisp forest air and pausing at wide valley lookouts.
🍉 At midday, we’ll come together for a relaxed picnic lunch with a fresh fruit platter, sharing food, stories, and laughter under shady trees.
🏛️ Back in town, stroll heritage lanes, browse antique troves and collectible stores, and discover local stories in beautifully preserved streets. Small delights await — a cosy café, a rustic bakehouse, and the Oil Distillery Museum.
🧘 As the afternoon softens, we’ll gather for meditation near the river — a moment to pause, connect, and let the calm of the day settle in.
🍃 With its blend of history, nature, and gentle discovery, this trip is your chance to slow down, taste local flavours, and return with new friends and brighter memories.
