Play a round of golf at one of the country courses or see the countryside on horse back. See platypuses along the Yarra River or the wonderful bridges inviting you to wander along both sides of the river along the Warburton Track or enjoy en easy 1.6km walk along Four Mile Creek to the La La Falls.
