Melbourne is pretty much the kebab capital of Australia, and there are probably more than a hundred (or more?) places to get some lamb on a skewer or wrapped with goodies in bread from around the metro area. It would be risky to call any one of these the ‘best’, but this unassuming little joint down on the main road through Chelsea, on the way to Franskston, is definitely worth the stop, or even a dedicated drive from Melbourne. (Ask me how I know!)
Daylesford definitely qualifies as a d’Luxe one-stop-destination from Melbourne. The drive there is beautiful. The lake is beautiful. And the old Victorian town is beautiful. Also, if you have the chance to dine at the Lake House, run by Alla Wolf-Tasker, that too is beautiful.
Perhaps this is the favourite stopping point for drives in the Chevrolets. It is in the middle of one of the most scenic driving areas that Melbourne’s close environs have to offer, and provides a chic place to stop for coffee or lunch … along with a game of lawn bowls! This is a venture from acclaimed chef Shannon Bennett and is just part of the masterplan to redevelop all of the Burnham Beeches facilities in Sherbrooke.
