We all love a good movie night, but why don’t you mix it up a bit with a fun night at the Lunar Drive In Cinema? With all the latest movies on offer, plenty of parking and delicious popcorn, it’s a great way to do movies differently. Located in Dandenong it’s a quick trip you and your best friend will definitely enjoy.
It’s just a quick trip from Melbourne, but the Yarra Valley feels so far away with its luscious green hills and natural scenery. You and your friends can indulge in a cheese and wine tasting or have some fun at the iconic Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery. It’s a beautiful area and makes for a wonderful weekend getaway.
It doesn’t get more relaxing than a quick trip to one of Melbourne’s many hot springs. From Japanese-style bathing at the Japanese Mountain Retreat in Montrose to mineral pools at the Hepburn Springs in Daylesford, there’s something for everyone. And the tranquillity of it all makes it a perfect getaway to just sit and talk for hours on end with your best friend.
This gorgeous coastal town provides a quick getaway to the beach for you and your pals. Pass the colourful bathing boxes along the Mornington beachfront and take a drive up to Arthur’s Seat for beautiful scenery and ocean views. The serenity provides a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
If you and your best friend are fitness enthusiasts and love spending time in the outdoors, a quick trip to the 1000 Steps near the Dandenong Ranges is just the thing for you. The native wildlife and cool shade from all the greenery almost make all the exercise enjoyable! So grab your activewear and sweat it out together!

A Sunday market always makes for a fun day out, especially if you and your friends love vintage or handcrafted items.
