We finished a 10 day RV camping trip with a one night stay in Healsville, the center of Yarra Valley. The next day we returned the RV in Melbourne and went right back out to the valley with our son and his girlfriend for two more days. We had a great time touring wineries and sampling a wide range of white and reds. For anyone that is familiar with the Okanagan Valley in B.C., the scenery of the Yarra is remarkably the same. Interesting; the wineries have a similar history as the southern Okanagan. Both the Yarra and Okanagan took off in popularity about 30 years ago.
The area offers cheese tasting and wonderful restaurants. We also toured an animal sanctuary complete with many Australian species including the 10 most deadly snakes!! The slideshow gives an idea of the terrain and has a few fun shots of animals.
