The original Victorian craft brewery. Long before it was trendy to create a boutique beer, the Grand Ridge team were perfecting the craft. Great meals to sample the beer selection. A lovely drive into Mirboo North makes it well worth the trip.

Melbourne good coffee! Five Senses coffee is paired with local Gippy Milk, and Annie’s free-range eggs from Fish Creek top dishes such as eggs Benedict made with slow-cooked ham hock and sage hollandaise. The all-day breakfast menu features popular plates such as the smoked salmon bruschetta topped with lemon ricotta and house-made pickles, and there are often four or five specials per day to really highlight the best of the season. The cafe keeps a small larder of products from like-minded brands, including Mt Zero olives, Tonemade dehydrated bone broth from Inverloch, Pana Chocolate and local bottles from Dirty Three Wines and The Wine Farm.

Hidden within the rolling green hills of the Strzelecki Ranges, the meandering Agnes River cascades over rocks into a deep picturesque gorge. At 59 metres, Agnes Falls are the highest single span falls in Victoria. Take a short stroll through the Blue Gum Forest to a viewing area overlooking the falls or relax and enjoy a picnic under the shade of tall blue gums on the grassy banks of the Agnes River.

Bike/Walking on former rail line. The Great Southern Rail Trail extends from Leongatha to Toora (75km). The mostly flat or gently undulating trail goes through lush dairy farmland, areas of remnant bush and lowland scrub. It climbs from the foothills of Fish Creek up past Mount Hoddle and then down a steep descent through dense forest out into magnificent views of Wilsons Promontory and Corner Inlet.
