So often new places spark our imagination, experiences feed our curiosity and combined, lead to the joy of discovery. For those eager to try something new, taste something different or explore something not yet seen, we have gathered some of the most unique and unusual experiences on offer this summer to inspire your sense of curiosity on the Peninsula.

Christmas is done and dusted and the kids are already tiring of their toys and each other.  Sigh….  We need to get out of the city soon so the planning for a family road trip begins. 

Every year it seems to get a bit harder to find gifts that are a bit more personal, that reflect the unique nature of the receiver (and the giver), and are not the ‘same old – same old’. This year we challenged ourselves, firmly put our thinking hats on and came up with 12 great Christmas Ideas that are uniquely Mornington Peninsula and definitely not-your-usual gifts.

In our first instalment on '48 hours on the Mornington Peninsula’ we shared some great ideas on where to go to get that perfect plate, taste or sip across the region.   This time we are looking to give you our top picks for getting out and about.   There is so much you can do; step back in time, take the plunge, ride the sky, inspire your inner artist or take a hike.

Behind Moonlit Sanctuary is a lifelong love for animals and a dream to make a difference that started almost 20 years ago. Unsurprisingly, the sharing of natural close encounters comes ‘naturally’ to this well-respected and multiple national award-winning Australian wildlife experience; to the unending delight of guests who get the chance to meet animals in a natural setting during the day, or on a guided lantern-lit evening tour. You can see this continuing love affair for yourself on a daily basis.
