Over the Dandenong Ranges is the Yarra Valley, which is one of Australia’s best wine producing regions. If you’re in the area pop into some of the wineries to sample the locally produced wines, some of the best include: Fergusson, St Hubert, Domaine Chandon
and Yarra Ridge.
Wandin, Silvan and Healesville supply Melbourne with many of its vegetables and there is often work available picking vegetables. Ask around at the market gardens or check the employment listings at the Lilydale Centrelink office.
