Cruise, Discover, and Explore the Heart of Regional Victoria Discover the beauty and heritage of regional Victoria on this immersive full-day journey from Melbourne.

Begin at Kyabram Fauna Park, where you can meet kangaroos, koalas, wombats, and the extraordinary cassowary in an open-range environment designed to connect visitors with Australia’s native wildlife.

Continue to the historic river port of Echuca and step aboard a heritage paddle steamer for a scenic cruise along the mighty Murray River.

Relax as you drift past peaceful red gum forests and rustic riverbanks that capture the charm of country Australia.

Next, explore the colourful silo art trails of Rochester and Colbinabbin, where towering murals celebrate local stories and creativity.

The day concludes at the Pink Cliffs Reserve, a hidden natural wonder where mineral-rich clay formations glow in shades of rose and gold.

Combining wildlife encounters, heritage cruising, regional art, and striking landscapes, this tour offers a memorable glimpse into the heart of Victoria’s countryside — a perfect blend of nature, culture, and discovery.~~~~
