Victoria’s favorite ski resort, Mt. Buller lies around a 3-hour drive from Melbourne.

Wildlife Wonders' Sanctuary offers a glimpse into an Otways habitat before the arrival of predators such as foxes and cats. Wildlife lives freely in a natural habitat, without cages, and on a wildlife walk they can be seen going about their daily lives. Dusk is a time when most animals are active, as nocturnal animals rise for the night and day-active animals return to rest. Dusk Discovery tours are limited to just 10 people, allowing time to capture stunning sunsets as well as amazing wildlife viewing and photography opportunities. As with all of Wildlife Wonders' experiences, 100% of profits go to support conservation and research into Australia's threatened species.
