Renown for its café culture, it is home to an exceptional artistic and cultural scene while sporting events such as Australian Rules Football, the Melbourne Cup and Grand Slam Tennis are almost a religion. Surfers and beach lovers will adore the bucolic scenery of the Mornington Peninsula with its choice of windswept or placid coasts. East of the city are the hazy blue eucalyptus forests of the Dandenong Ranges while further to the west, the soaring sandstone Grampians are home to stunning Aboriginal rock art, the dramatic Mackenzie Falls and a host of well marked trails that meander through spectacular spring flowers.
