I’m always on the hunt for new road trip destinations in Victoria. I stumbled upon this blog post a few months ago and instantly added the Warburton Redwood Forest to my list. You’d be forgiven for completely missing or dismissing the Redwood Forest. From the small car park, it looks just like any regular forest.
Going on a road trip is one of my favourite ways to explore a new location, dust off the cobwebs, and get lost in nature.

Why Wilsons Prom must be made from magic
I can’t believe we’ve been in Melbourne for five whole years, and never once visited Wilsons Prom. Until now. In desperate need of an escape from the city, we hired a car and made the 2.5 hour drive to Wilsons Promontory National Park, fully immersing ourselves in nature. Wilsons Prom is nothing short of magical.
