Where to for the Easter Breaj


I like to plan ahead a little bit so does anyone have some suggestions about options for the Easter break (no more than 3 hours from western side of Melb)? I have exhausted the suggestions to my husband so maybe someone from this forum can come up with an option or two. Look forward to responses and suggestions.

Cheers

Sandra

Thanks HW

Going to Wye River for long weekend in March.

We are regular visitors to Echuca in June and Easter is mad there. Love the shopping in the port area and enjoy a visit to the Moama Bowling Club too.

Any other suggestions?

Cheers

Sandra

There is a place over to our east, can't remember the name but has a large maze and also an animal farm or something similiar. Haven't been there but have heard a bit about it and hope to go one day. Will check my map, I'm sure I marked it on there.

Wandilligong. Between Bright and Mt Beauty. A very scenic area. Mytleford and Beechworth are just above it so would make for a great long weekened.

What date is easter?

Maybe an option, will have a look. It is a nice part of our state. Easter is late April and Anzac day is right on the end of the break. So we get the Tuesday as well, I also have an understanding boss so generally tack a few days either side, husband is self employed (no work, no pay) so pretty flexible there too.

Have you been to the Bright, Beechworth area? I remember they used to have an Autumn Festival or something similar around Easter. It will probably be fairly busy though.

Barwon heads is a favourite of mine. But I think the caravan park will, definately, be booked out. The car park on top of the hill is much cheaper, and by the time they kike you out, easter will be over......... Sorry about the spelling.

Hi Bill

Barwon Heads would be lovely, might give it a go, you never know.

Did you hear about the councils moving campers on from beach side car parks, would rather not get in strife with the local authorities.

Cheers

Sandra

Find the closest national park with a river/creek and head there on wednesday before easter and stake your claim, sit back and enjoy

Hot in summer - cold in winter - autumn lovely - but crowded - there are a few festivals around in autumn - caravan parks get pretty busy - but you can bush camp out on the Buckland,  - lots of terrific places - some good caravan parks in Porepunkah - Bright is always busy - Camps 5 book has listings of some really good places - but usually need to get there early (before Friday) - I'm off to Porepunkah end of February, first trip by myself with caravan - bit daunting, but at least I know where I'm heading.
Have fun - wherever you go

Probably a week or two before Easter this year Jim... depends whether you like festivals or gorgeous scenery without crowds?
