Attractions & Things to Do

Fire Services Museum of Victoria

The Fire Services Museum was formed in 1972 by a small group of people with the aim of preserving Fire Brigade memorabilia for later generations to look back on. The Museum was a nomad society for sometime moving the ever growing collection to larger premises until they were offered permanent residence at the present site. This Museum is one of only a few in the world operating in an original Headquarter Fire Station, being the Eastern Hill Fire station.

Five Oaks Vineyard

'Eighty-year-old oaks and towering cypresses stand sentinel outside this comfortable, welcoming winery set in the southern Yarra Valley hill country. A visit here is like a tonic - fresh clean air, beautiful natural surroundings, and a memorable range of Cabernet-based red wines provide good medicine for the visitor. It's a labour of love for Judy and Wally Zuk, whose Canadian origins are reflected in the architecture of the place, and the easy smiles of the hosts.' RALPH KYTE-POWELL

Galli Estate Winery

'Galli Estate, at the southern end of the Sunbury region offers excellent wines at very fair prices and has already put it on the radar of wine buffs far and wide. An Italian influence pervades the cellar door and the smart, modern restaurant, where you can enjoy great food looking across a broad sweep of vineyard, or go alfresco on the outside deck. Galli Estate, which has been accredited by James Halliday as a five-star winery, has its own vineyards at Sunbury and a larger vineyard in the Heathcote region which provides outstanding material to extend this substantial winery's already very good range.'
