Exciting at every level

Few regions in Australia can match the range of recreational opportunities your family will be offered every weekend throughout the year.

From meandering bushwalks or a convivial round of golf to the spectacular, heart-stopping action at Australia’s premier jet boat racing centre and Tabcorp Park, the home of Victorian harness racing, you can change the pace and dial up the excitement levels at will. Melton even boasts Australia’s first indoor wave pool.

There is organised indoor and outdoor sport for every age group and players with every level of experience across an abundance of ovals, courts and leisure centres.

The Djerriwarrh festival creates a carnival atmosphere every November and is just one of the many festivals in a packed cultural events calendar. Lovers of fine food and wine take every opportunity to celebrate the local produce, and aspiring musicians and artists also get the chance to demonstrate and extend their skills.
