Escape the crowds and explore the beauty of winter in the Prom Country region of Victoria.ONLY two hours from Melbourne, the Prom Country region truly is Victoria’s southern secret.
Commonly considered a summer destination, the region is also attracting a growing number of winter visitors who enjoy the beauty of exploring nature in its purest form.
Named after its resident icon, Wilsons Promontory, Prom Country is fresh and exhilarating.
During winter there’s a chance to get the blood pumping with a walk to the summit of Mount Oberon, cycle along the Great Southern Rail Trail between Leongatha and Foster or relax and take to the road with a quiet drive through peaceful country pastures.
During the cooler months try feasting on farmfresh produce, such as warming winter soups, homemade pies or quiches all with a glass of local cabernet.
The Prom Country region is renowned for quality, often organic produce and during winter the ingredients are especially crisp and flavoursome.
Winter brings transformation to many Prom Country attractions.
Agnes Falls waterfall brims with clear, trickling water that drops spectacularly into the awaiting river, while untouched beaches lure anyone who seeks an escape.
Hills are awash in vibrant green, soils are rich golden brown and waters shimmer with every shade of blue.
