We’re an incredibly compact destination, so once you’re here everything (and anything) is within easy reach. You can drive from top to toe in about 30 minutes and from bay to bay in 15 minutes. The region is also one hour from the Yarra Valley or Phillip Island and it’s only a short ferry ride away to the Great Ocean Road. UNIQUE AND INSPIRING VENUES For events of all shapes and sizes We have venues to suit large and small events as well as anything in between. From a full racing complex through to a country house hotel. An eco retreat or country club to golf resorts and wineries. All of our venues feature everything your business would need to host a memorable event. Put the phone on silent, leave the emails to the end of the day and let our venues put your team in a productive mood. AN ABUNDANCE OF ACTIVITIES In a natural playground When you want to play (or team build) we’ve got so many choices to suit every delegate. From adventurous walking tours, kayaking, snorkelling, cycling, horse riding, dolphin and seal swims to more relaxing wine tastings (even on horseback), garden tours, cooking classes, a ‘walk’ on the golf course and immersing in the natural thermal waters of the Hot Springs. You don’t need to stick to one, everything is so close you can mix and match activities. DIVERSE MEETING locations To foster productivity Where else can you leave the coast and be in the coutryside or hinterland in a matter of minutes? From a bayside city locality to quiet country settings, large function centres, winery restaurants or a private room in a cosmopolitan cafe. You could spend the morning focussing on an in depth planning session in a high tech meeting space, and then take to the golf course to nut out the finer details in the afternoon. REGIONAL EVENTS From wine weekends to racing carnivals, kite festivals and gourmet feasts. There’s always something happening on the Mornington Peninsula. TEAM BUILDING Get lost (and found) in a maze, tailor make a cooking class. Interact with wildlife and the natural landscapes of the region. INCENTIVE pacKAGES Create a rewards program based on some of the most unique events, attractions and experiences in Victoria.

  • A Social Geography of the Mornington Peninsula (Dr Ian Manning)
    A social geography of the Mornington Peninsula (Dr Ian Manning) This article was prepared for the George Hicks Foundation as part of a background paper for a meeting of philanthropists interested in work on the Mornington Peninsula. An evaluation of the costs and benefits of providing educational assistance to disadvantaged families living on the Peninsula is provided in a separate posting. The Mornington Peninsula Shire is known as a place where people can live near the sea, perhaps within walking distance of the beach or on a bluff with a view over the bay, or perhaps among the hills within easy driving distance of the beach. The peninsula faces Port Phillip Bay across a crescent of beaches along which there is a near-continuous strip of urban development, backed by a range of hills which, once over the ridge, slope down to Westernport Bay to the east and Bass Strait to the south. Paradise? Yet not for all residents. As will be shown below, the peninsula has its disadvantaged families, some of them scattered across the shire and some of them concentrated in two main pockets of disadvantage, one centred on Rosebud West and the other on Hastings. Geographically, the peninsula contrasts sharply with the western shore of Port Phillip Bay, where a basalt plain comes down to the sea and separates Melbourne from Geelong. Though similar in distance from Melbourne to the City of Geelong (that is, 60-110 km), the peninsula lacks Geelong’s historic, independent city centre; instead, the peninsula shades from outer suburb to peri-urban; built-up to semi-rural.

    June 1946 MEM. NAT. Mus. V1cT., 14, PT. 2, 1946. https://doi.org/10.24199/j.mmv.1946.14.06 THE SUNKLANDS OF PORT PHILLIP BAY AND BASS STRAIT By R. A. Keble, F.G.S., Palaeontologist, National Jiiiseurn of Victoria. Figs. 1-16. (Received for publication 18th l\fay, 1945) The floors of Port Phillip Bay and Bass Strait were formerly portions of a continuous land surface joining Victoria with Tasmania. This land surface was drained by a river system of which the Riv-er Y arra was part, and was intersected by two orogenic ridges, the Bassian and King Island ridges, near its eastern and western margins respectively. \Vith progressive subsidence and eustatic adjustment, these ridges became land bridges and the main route for the migration of the flora and fauna. At present, their former trend is indicated by the chains of islands in Bass Strait and the shallower portions of the Strait. The history of the development of the River Yarra is largely that of the former land surface and the King Island land bridge, and is the main theme for this discussion. The Yarra River was developed, for the most part, during the Pleistocene or Ice Age. In Tasmania, there is direct evidence of the Ice Age in the form of U-shaped valleys, raised beaches, strandlines, and river terraces, but in Victoria the effects of glaciation are less apparent. A correlation of the Victorian with the Tasmanian deposits and land forms, and, incidentally, with the European and American, can only be obtained by ascertaining the conditions of sedimentation and accumulation of such deposits in Victoria, as can be seen at the surface1 or as have been revealed by bores, particularly those on the N epean Peninsula; by observing the succession of river terraces along the Maribyrnong River; and by reconstructing the floor of Port Phillip Bay, King Bay, and Bass Strait, and interpreting the submerged land forms revealed by the bathymetrical contours.

  • Death of Johnny and His Burial on the Foreshore at Mccrae
    10. Death of Johnny and his burial on the foreshore at McCrae Johnny’s death and burial occurred in a later and different era, the gold rush period, 11 years after the Protectorate moved from the Mornington Peninsula. I came upon the location of his grave when seeking information from George Gordon McCrae’s journal about George Smith. Then George Smith turned out to be the earliest legal licence holder of the foreshore where Johnny was buried. I was struck with the intimacy, the connectedness of these people, black and white, in those far-off days: here are the same people, Bogy Bogy/Pereuk and George Smith, first met with in the Protectorate era. And when I went down to the lighthouse precinct to estimate what George Gordon McCrae might have meant by ‘a little to the south of the present lighthouse’, it seemed obvious that Johnny was buried either beneath a public car park or possibly beneath Point Nepean Road. We must walk unknowingly over Aboriginal graves on the Mornington Peninsula, but it is quite a different matter to park vehicles and trailers on a grave once we know it is there. This chapter brings together all the information gathered about Johnny’s death and the location of his grave site. Aboriginal Affairs Victoria will act on the matter. The most well-known account of Johnnie’s death comes to us from the journal of Georgiana McCrae: it survived almost by accident, being included in a portion of Georgiana’s diary ‘Scrip scrap’ which had become separated from the rest of her journals and was found damaged and disordered in her desk:1 it is a brief and moving account.
