town near melbourne

Hunting for a town near Melbourne? Try Mornington (about 60 km SE) for bayside smugness, Healesville (~65 km NE) for wineries and wildlife, or Yarra Glen (~45 km NE) for cheese and views. Closer still, Sunbury (~40 km NW), Werribee (~32 km SW), and Bacchus Marsh (~50 km W) give you suburb-adjacent living without the CBD hissy fits. For weekend flair, Daylesford (~115 km NW) is spas and serenity, while Torquay (~100 km SW) hands you surf and sand. Distances are approximate; the grins are not.
