Mornington Peninsula Essentials

This collection spans the Mornington Peninsula’s diverse landscape, from the geothermal mineral pools of the Peninsula Hot Springs to the 1859 limestone lighthouse at Cape Schanck. Historic sites include the military fortifications at Point Nepean and the heritage Mornington Railway. The region’s agricultural character is represented by the Montalto sculpture trail and vineyard, Ashcombe’s traditional hedge mazes, and Sunny Ridge’s seasonal strawberry picking. Panoramic views are accessible via the Arthurs Seat summit, the peninsula's highest elevation.
