TRAVELLING WITH KIDS?
Victoria is brimming with great options for kids. Water babies can make a splash at parks like Gumbuya World ( gumbuya.com. au) near Pakenham, Funfields ( www.funfields.com.au) in Whittlesea and Adventure Park Geelong ( www.adventurepark. com.au). Little daredevils can go on ropes courses, flying foxes and other treetop adventures at Live Wire Park ( livewirepark.com.au) outside Lorne, Enchanted Maze ( www.enchantedmaze.com.au) in the Mornington Peninsula and the famous Otway Fly ( www.otwayfly. com.au). Kids can step back in time (and try panning for gold) at Sovereign Hill ( www.sovereignhill. com.au). And those who want to walk on the wild side can get nose to nose (or beak) with native Australian wildlife at Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park ( moonlitsanctuary.com. au) on the Mornington Peninsula, Healesville Sanctuary ( www.zoo. org.au/healesville), Jirrahlinga Koala and Wildlife Sanctuary ( www.jirrahlinga.com.au) on the Bellarine Peninsula, and witness the penguin parade at Phillip Island ( penguins.org.au). Or see some animals from further afield at Werribee Open Range Zoo ( www. zoo.org.au/werribee).
