Delegates will thank you for choosing such a beautiful destination, with experienced meeting venues, fine ‘Chef’s Hat’ dining, magnificent wineries and abundant activities including some of Australia’s best golf courses. So let’s get started! • Choose a venue, from an intimate country house hotel to an arts centre. Golf courses, wineries, a racing course and eco-retreats are other inspiring options. • Check out our range of activities suitable for team building, including golf, indoor rock climbing and tree surfing. • Schedule a little reward for all the hard work of the conference…a wine tasting at a cellar door, dinner in an outstanding restaurant, bathing in our natural geothermal hot springs. It couldn’t be easier – but when you need advice, call the Mornington Peninsula Conference Bureau on 03 5987 2683 or visit us at www.mpcb.com.au TOURING DISTANCES - KILOMETRES AUSTRALIA Dromana Frankston Mornington Rosebud Rye Sorrento Cape SchanckFlinders Hastings Red Hill Arthurs Seat 5 38 24 9 17 26 33 19 27 7 0 Arthurs Seat 12 34 21 18 26 31 30 16 20 0 7 Red Hill VICTORIA 29 23 20 31 39 43 43 29 0 20 27 Hastings 27 48 34 22 30 33 14 0 29 16 19 Flinders 19 51 38 13 20 26 0 14 43 30 33 Cape Schanck 22 58 38 13 5 0 26 33 43 31 26 Sorrento 17 46 33 8 0 5 21 30 39 26 17 Rye MELBOURNE 6 38 25 0 8 13 13 22 31 18 9 Rosebud 17 14 0 25 33 38 38 34 20 20 24 Mornington 29 0 14 38 46 52 51 48 23 34 43 Frankston 0 29 17 6 17 22 19 27 29 12 5 Dromana Port Phillip Bay MELBOURNE TO YARRA VALLEY AND DANDENONG RANGES Seaford Sandhurst Carrum Downs Frankston Langwarrin Mount Eliza Baxter Pearcedale Mornington Somerville TO GREAT OCEAN ROAD PORT PHILLIP BAY Moorooduc Tyabb WESTERN Queenscli Mount Martha Tuerong PORT BAY Point Nepean Safety Beach Hastings Portsea Dromana MORNINGTON Bittern Sorrento McCrae Rosebud PENINSULA FRENCH ISLAND Blairgowrie Crib Point Rye Tootgarook Arthurs Seat Red Hill Red Hill South Balnarring Stony Point Merricks Somers Fingal Main Ridge Balnarring Beach Boneo Merricks Beach BASS STRAIT Point Leo Shoreham Flinders PHILLIP ISLAND Cape Schanck VENUES WITH Every meeting or conference is different.
