Werribee 

Once a small country town, Werribee is now a lively and busy outer suburb of Melbourne with a busy main street and an extensive shopping centre - the Werribee Plaza complex. The area has strong industrial, technology and retail precincts yet the surrounds are still one of Victoria’s most intensive vegetable growing areas.

Fetch out your binoculars at Point Cook coastal reserve's wetlands and spot birds from around the world, including many rare and endangered species.
