If you ask me, winter is Victoria’s best season.

The forests are moodier, the mountains turn white, the roads get quieter, and every coffee stop somehow feels a little more rewarding.

These are three road trips I keep coming back to: the Great Ocean Road, Mount Hotham, and the Yarra Valley. Different landscapes, different experiences, but all guaranteed to slow you down and remind you why getting out there is always worth it.

Save this for your next winter escape. And if you have a favourite spot I missed, I’d love to hear about it below 🍂❄️🚗

I don’t know about you, but for me Autumn is the most beautiful time in Melbourne and road trips in the regional VIC is a must! I’ve been exploring these areas for 10 years and here’s my go to places:

📍 Walhalla
📍 Beechworth
📍 Macedon
📍 Bright
📍 Daylesford

There are heaps more spots, these are my best 5, which town apart from Melbourne would you add to the list?

At some point in their lives everyone will get into photography, for me it happened when I was 27 years old, using my first Digicam. It’s been 20 years…

And for you, photography is…

So many beautiful corners, beautiful people and inspiring moments along the way! If you also love Melbourne, drop a ☕️ in the comments!
