We went to Red Hill Brewery and as we were there 4 years ago, we were excited to dine there as well! But we didn't realise how small the individual portions were, and ended up needing to order all the platters to share! Of course, we also ordered a large mug of beer, to fill us up!liannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403229209363728343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-53309127729392209252011-06-06T20:43:11.170+10:002011-06-06T20:43:11.170+10:00Thank you all for entering the competition.

You cheated me out of the apples contest, so you owe me this one! ;)<br /><br />Okay, something interesting about the Mornington Peninsula.. did you know that the Mornington Peninsula is the only part of Australia that has a particular fish species called morningtons? They're native to the region, apparently very good eating, and well known for their rainbow coloured stripe pattern.<br /><br />HAHAHA I totally made that up!! Okay, for something true, you can book a picnic at the Montalto winery - they give you a secluded spot and provide the food, picnic blankets, cutlery, etc!Agneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02682199058521082342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-15675710073941975292011-05-27T21:52:42.115+10:002011-05-27T21:52:42.115+10:00great photos. i think i should go back and visit, ...great photos. i think i should go back and visit, now that I'm older to appreciate it more!Iron Chef Shelliehttp://ironchefshellie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-72652710217461705072011-05-27T21:02:32.586+10:002011-05-27T21:02:32.586+10:00Feel so good after reading the review because ever...Feel so good after reading the review because everything seems to be so close to nature! <br /><br />Thanks Thanh for bring us the breeze of fresh air!
