Make It a Country Drive!

Looking for something to do on a weekend or Sunday? Take the scenic way.

​

There’s plenty to see and do in our beautiful part of Country Victoria. Explore the country roads around Staughton Vale, Anakie, the Brisbane Ranges, Steiglitz and the You Yangs. Discover local farms, wineries, historic sites, bushland and country attractions — and make Blooms in the Bush part of your drive.

​

Pack a picnic and head to Anakie Gorge for a picnic, bushwalk and a chance to spot some of our local wildlife. Visit one of the local wineries around Anakie or Staughton Vale, explore Steiglitz Historical Park, or discover the natural beauty of Brisbane Ranges National Park.

Take a drive through the bush, explore one of the many walking trails, enjoy the scenery and slow down for a while.

​

Planning a longer country escape? There are also places to stay throughout the area, including a couple of local bed and breakfast accommodations, as well as free camping in the Brisbane Ranges National Park for those wanting to truly immerse themselves in the bush.

Whether you’re looking for things to do near Geelong, a scenic country drive, a weekend outing, a country day trip, or a weekend in the bush, there’s plenty to explore, see and enjoy right here.

​

And after a day exploring our beautiful countryside, stop by the Blooms in the Bush Roadside Flower Trailer and take home some fresh, seasonal flowers to remember your country day out.

​

Flower Trailer open 7 days — dawn till dusk.

Only 30 minutes from Geelong & around 1 hour from Melbourne.

We’d love to welcome you. ❤️
