For farmstay, i’ve contacted thus laurimarglenfarmstay, Janet said best to hire car as it’s easy to drive around, it’s near kyneton, what to see in kyneton? how many farmstay is best? 1? 2 ?

I went last Oct/Nov, it was Spring time. I love the weather there. I think they have much more activities during Spring time too.

Went there in June 2010…quite cool but we love it:)


worth to visit Penguin island, Great ocean road, Puffy billy train…

but disappointed at wine yard as nothing much to see during winter time. so maybe spring will be nicer view…
