Day Tripping - Itinerary One By Julia Swift
T
his Itinerary is a half day and takes place on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula.
Start 11.30am @ Main Ridge Dairy (We spent an hour there) We started our trip at Main Ridge Dairy in Main Ridge. They are the only large commercial dairy on the Peninsula. We were first welcomed by some lovely little goats just behind the fence next to the car park. The kids loved having a pat and cuddle with them. You can also purchase a buddle of goat food for $1 and feed them, which the kids really enjoyed. This lovely little dairy has inside and outside tables, as well as a small collection of toys and colouring print outs, which kept our two kids occupied. We got an outside table next to the grass so the kids could also run around and explore, and purchased a tasting plate (a small sample of 10 cheeses) and a platter of 4 cheeses and crackers. Their cheeses are just delicious. You can also purchase a crisp glass of vino or warming coffee to enjoy with your chesses. And once you’ve worked out your favorite cheese (or 2 or 3) you can buy them from the deli on the way out.
