Located only a 30 minute drive to the Southern Grampians or 1 hour to Halls Gap, there's plenty of beautiful spots to walk or enjoy the local wildlife. The Mt Abrupt hike (6km return) has been described by Eliza as the best view in Victoria.
Located only 1 hour from Hamilton, Port Fairy has plenty to see and do, with beaches, ice cream and fish and chips. A lovely place for a recovery swim and wine.
There are many cafes, restaurants and boutique stores in town. Lake Hamilton is a beautiful place for a walk or run.
For anyone who wants to turn this weekend into a bucket list road trip, you can go to and from Hamilton via the stunning Great Ocean Road.
