    The Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery has a number of exhibitions, most recently, a touring collection of the Archibald Prize 2023. It's the 100th anniversary of the Archibald Prize. The portraits come in a wide variety of styles, it's certainly fascinating. The Archibald is Australia's most prominent art prize. The Gallery is in a good location, it's a feature of the Mornington Peninsula.

    The Mornington Botanical Rose Garden comes to bloom in spring, with a great floral display. Apart from the many hundreds of rose bushes, there is a lake and a pavilion. The rose bushes come in a great variety. It's a great place to spend some relaxing time.

    We took a group of 11 people to these markets and found them really well organised and interesting. The car parking is well set up and close to the markets which makes it worth the $4 per car. It was busy but there was plenty of variety and quality in the stalls to suit the range of ages in our group. Impressed that was almost no garbage around.

    A lot of people like Mothers beach for young kids but Mills beach is my fav due to having waves something that mothers beach lacks.. if you turn left at car park it also has a nice little creek area.

    TIPs: one outdoor shower
    BBQs available

    My wife and I visited this place during our recent annual holiday in Mornington Peninsula. We are visiting places that we have not been before and will continue to do so over the next few years. Have booked accommodation to visit another five destinations in regional Victoria over the next five months.

    Civic Reserve is a large local Park that also has a large Recreational Centre with facilities for various sports. There is also a Rose Garden, a lawnbowls club and two separate lakes in this Reserve.

    You can’t really miss schnapper point when you visit the Mornington pier. On the left hand side is a large rocky hill. Nice views and a boardwalk song it. Also an often overlooked Matthew flinders monument.

    go for a drive, and go around the bay. It's well worth it. This is NOT on the tourist trail and probably should be. It's a local secret. Without a car though you couldn't do it. It's a decent day drive with stops for food in between.

    Victim of its own beauty. Very busy spot which sometimes makes it hard to get a carpark. Nice pier and schnapper point Is worth a look as well

    I found this beach so peaceful. Took about 20 mins to walk there as you need to follow a track. The beach was beautiful to sit at. There were large rocks and many shells.

    A wonderful beach but be careful as the rips can be dangerous. Take a beautiful stroll along the beach and feel relaxed and happy. You will love it.
