Yarra Valley
Just under an hour from Melbourne are the rolling hills and
vineyards of the Yarra Valley, popular for cellar-door tastings,
good food and peaceful scenery. The Yarra Valley is home to
Victoria's first vineyards and is renowned as one of the world's
great wine growing regions. Visit the Dandenong Ranges for a ride
on the oldest steam train in Australia, Puffing Billy, through
forests and fern gullies, or browse antique shops, cool-climate
gardens, craft shops and tea houses.
Information & Facts

cool wet winters with snow only occurring on the mountain
peaks.

Money
The Australian Dollar (AUD) is divided into 100 cents. Banks and
bureaux de change exchange most foreign currencies. Travellers
cheques are also welcome everywhere, but banks take a small
commission and it is better to take cheques in major currencies
(e.g. US dollars or Euros) to avoid additional charges. Credit
cards are widely accepted and ATMs are freely available throughout
the country. Banking hours are generally 9.30am to 4pm Monday to
Thursday, and 9.30am to 5pm on Friday, but some banks offer
extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.
