Parks & Nature
The park is located at the very end of the Mornington Peninsula, the rugged landscape of Point Nepean National Park was once the center of military activity as a quarantine station and fort. Given the immense size of the park, the hop-on, hop-off shuttle service connecting the major sites is a great way to get around. There are also many excellent hiking trails. Self-guided audio tours are available for download at the Visitor's Centre near the entrance to the park. This is highly recommended as the park is full of hidden treasures. At the very point of the park is where Port Phillip Bay meets Bass Strait. Known as "the Rip", this extremely dangerous stretch of water is where all vessels com

Established in the late 1970s, Ashcombe Maze is the tourist attraction that keeps growing. The original hedge maze is both beautiful and challenging. However, over the years other parts of the property have enhanced the experience with a rose maze that boasts the "oldest circular rose maze in the world" status, a series of lavender gardens, and the Great Gnome Hunt activity. The café, built from mud bricks, serves a great selection of local produce and is a favourite wedding venue. The drive through the lush hinterland of the Mornington Peninsula surrounding Ashcombe Maze is spectacular, particularly in autumn.

Entertainment & Activities
The Enchanted Maze is fun for all, whether you love gardens and picnicking or want to get the kids lost in the mazes (just for a little while) or wear them out on the tube slides down the hill. There is lots to do at the maze and will easily take up half a day. Prices are $29 for adults and $19 for children (under 2 free) which adds up quickly with a big family, but you can get an annual pass for $60 an adult and $40 for a child which is excellent value. Tree Surfing is a part of the Enchanted Maze but it deserves its own special mention. You do need to be over 135 cm in height to do the Grand course or over 100cm to do the Nippers course. It's heaps of fun and is challenging but safe. The G
