Wow, this is the most, not one of the most, comprehensive tour introduction about MP. Thanks for sharing so much useful information about the area. It s really helpful. Thanks again

[@theintrepidguide]

That's kind of you to say. Thank you so much :)

[@eileeneastlake8535]

I enjoyed that video. It brought back memories. My father was serving in the Australian Army in the late 1940's and was based at Balcombe Camp. We lived at the time in Mount Martha. When he left the Army we moved into Red Hill South and grew starwberries. Apples were also grown in the area at that time. My sister and I were educated primarily at the Red Hill Consolidated School and the Rosebud High Shcool until we moved into Melbourne City. Thanks for posting.

[@theintrepidguide]

Amazing, thank you so much Eileen. Such a small world. Thank you for sharing your story :)

[@ChamilaKohona]

Thanks to ya .. got some places added to my list. Now .. let me plan for a day the lockdown is over ☺️☺️

Thank you very much for that video, great information, it is a beautiful part of Victoria. You show great pride showing me your backyard, thank you.

Thank you, lovely presentation.

[@RoamingRequired]

What a great video, even as an Aussie there's a LOAD I didn't know about the Mornington Peninsula. I knew Harold Holt disappeared at a beach, I didn't know it was on the MP! Thanks Michele for the insightful video, as always!

[@theintrepidguide]

That’s such wonderful feedback. Thanks Roma. So glad to enjoyed it and learned a few things too 😀

[@prasanna046]

Very informative video. We have visited few of the places in your video but many to be visited.Thanks for uploading this.

[@theintrepidguide]

Thank you so much :) I hope you had a wonderful time. Which places did you visit?

[@tana1195]

Many thanks for very important info 🙏🙏

[@margaretpeterson8835]

Thank you Michele for such an informative and extremely entertaining tour around this stunning and fun part of your world. You have made it look so tempting for me to want to drop everything and go and indulge in what this beautiful Peninsula has to offer. This is one of the best videos I have ever seen.

[@theintrepidguide]

Thank you so much 😊 That makes me so happy to hear 🤩 🏖

Thank you so much :)

[@troysvisualarts]

Excellent video, am planning a Victoria trip and do want to see this area, you've highlighted plenty of great places, so thanks 🙂. I've unfortunately heard Gunnamatta Beach had an incredibly bad sewage outfall problem in the 2000s with surfers getting infections, I really hope the wastewater management have improved their sewage treatment there!

[@theintrepidguide]

It’s absolutely stunning! Wishing you a wonderful trip 😊

[@RanjithKumar-zb2vr]

[@mistymint7983]

Thanks that was really helpful

[@joemdee]

Thanks Michelle. I’m heading out to Australia from the in January 2024 for a month and your video really inspired me. I haven’t been to the Mornington Penninsula since I was a child although I have fond memories of going there from Mentone during the summer holidays. You didn’t mention the Aquarium at Sorrento so I guess it is no longer there. Thanks again for a great video.

[@liv9351]

Wow - this is so well put together, and professionally done - I feel like i just watched an ep of 'Get Away' or 'Postcards'

[@theintrepidguide]

That’s so kind of you to say. I grew up watching those shows and loved them so your compliment means a lot 😀

Thank you so much :) Rosebud is great. I used to work at the cinema back in the day haha Where do you live now?

[@evilswingythingy]

@@theintrepidguide you worked for the whittakers? Wow...I used to run the broadway bazaar shop right opposite the cinema lol. I now live on the gold coast but visit rosebud regularly (except this year) I'm creating a video game based on the peninsulla and have just mapped out the 3d terrain and landscape. I watched your video to remind me of the scenery and add inspiration. Thanks again for a well edited video

[@theintrepidguide]

@@evilswingythingy No way! What a small world. haha this blows my mind :) I remember that shop! That's so cool that you're working on a video game. I'd love to see it when you're done :) Best of luck with it :)

Hey :) would Love to go for walk with you sometimes I volunteer for My Guide Melbourne i run the My Guide Mornington Peninsula also local In Mornington .

[@theintrepidguide]

Thanks Victor, I'm based on London now so it might be a while before I can return home to visit with the lockdown :(

[@openbabel]

Please would you describe how you would get there by train from Melbourne Southern Cross ?

[@theintrepidguide]

You need to get a train to Frankston, beyond that you need a car for most of it. There are buses but that take an hour to get to Mornington from Frankston, or 15 min by car

[@MMAJ07]

You can go anytime :) It just depends on what things you want to do. There are fewer visitors and accommodation is much cheaper.
