Day 6, another day trip out for the family, this time down to the Mornington Peninsula to check out the fabulous views of Point Napean National Park, the bathing boxes of Brighton a relaxing lunch at the Peninsula Hotsprings resort, wine tasting at the Mantons Creek Winery, a afternoon of fun at the Ashcombe Maze and Lavendar Gardens and picking fresh strawberries from Sunnyridge Strawberry farm. A long day's trip but really worth it and it was late evening by the time Mommy and Daddy got home, with not much time left except for a quick dinner before Mommy and Daddy had to start packing for the flight home the next day.

Jerral leading the way through the hedge maze which was really quite challenging
though the little one seems unfazed and actually managed to guide Daddy out of the maze by giving directions at every turning.
