Travel east of the city through lovely rainforest scenery. Stop at Grant’s Reserve and enjoy Devonshire Tea, then continue on to the Healesville Sanctuary which is cradled in the forested foothills of the Great Divide.
On arrival you will be given a 2 hour guided tour and meet iconic Australian animals, including koalas, platypus, dingoes, kangaroos, wombats and emus in their natural surrounds.

RIVER CRUISE & HMAS CASTLEMAINE TOUR
Cost $40.00pp
We have had numerous requests to repeat this tour.
Bus will leave Bayview on the Park for the Southbank departure point at 0945 Sharp.
Cruise by Melbourne’s CBD and Docklands on your journey to the old maritime seaport of Williamstown (Complimentary Tea & Coffee) on the way. There is plenty of time to explore this early colonial settlement, have a light lunch (own expense) at one of many cafes or restaurants in the area or just take in the stunning waterfront bay views.
The HMAS Castlemaine is berthed at Gem Pier Williamstown and has now been restored as a floating museum and naval memorial for the benefit of all Australians. It is maintained by a dedicated crew of volunteers who will make your visit an enjoyable experience.
