VN 779E HAN-MEL 09:15 – 22:50

Lunch and dinner will be served on board.

22:50: The group arrives at Melbourne Airport; the vehicle and tour guide will transfer everyone to the hotel for check-in and rest.

Overnight stay at the 3-star Ibis Melbourne Hotel and Apartments (or equivalent) in Melbourne.

After breakfast, the group travels to the outskirts of Belgrave to visit:

Dandenong Ranges National Park. Here, you can admire the ancient rainforest and towering trees, and observe—or even feed and photograph—wild birds, including those with brilliant red plumage and white cockatoos that gather in the area. Next, experience a ride on the historic Puffing Billy steam train, which has been in operation since 1900 (please ensure you arrive on time for the departure). The train journey takes you through the ancient forest, offering magnificent, expansive natural scenery and a relaxing, enjoyable experience.
OR: The group departs for the town of Ballarat to visit Sovereign Hill, a preserved 19th-century gold mining site. Learn about the site of the 1850s gold rush—a location carefully preserved by Australians that has become one of the country's iconic tourist attractions. Here, you can try your hand at panning for gold in the stream and perhaps strike it lucky. It is a place where you can step back in time and immerse yourself in the life of mid-19th-century gold miners, exploring theaters, bakeries, churches, schools, and recreation areas.
12:00 PM: Lunch at a local restaurant.

After lunch, the group visits Rochford Wines—one of the oldest wineries in the Yarra Valley—to sample some of the region's renowned wines.

Special note: From November through March, fruit farms (apples, cherries, strawberries, etc.) may be open to visitors. For tours departing between November and March, the company will verify farm opening times to adjust the Bacchus Marsh itinerary—substituting the Yarra Valley wine tasting with a seasonal fruit-picking experience. (Strawberry farm: AUD 10/person, includes picking 500g to take home; Apple/Peach: AUD 5/person, with produce charged by weight; Cherry: AUD 12/person... fees payable at the entrance). Bacchus Marsh is a fertile valley northwest of Melbourne, renowned for its orchards run by local Australian farmers. Here, you can hand-pick and taste fresh, delicious fruits (such as apples or peaches) bursting with natural flavor. (Orchard availability depends on weather conditions; the itinerary is subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances if farms are closed to visitors. The company will verify details and adjust the schedule accordingly.)

Upon returning to Melbourne, if time permits, you may enjoy some shopping at the city's major shopping centers.

18:00: Dinner at a restaurant.

Overnight stay at the 3-star Ibis Melbourne Hotel and Apartments (or equivalent) in Melbourne.
