How long does it take to drive to Tullamarine? I could think of a lot of glorious places that are 2 hours from Tullamarine.

Sorry, that wasn't helpful...

What about Portsea and Sorrento? I love it down there, and it's so beautiful. Cafes galore and pretty shops etc. And then you could ferry over to the 'other side'. Dolphins love playing by the ferry, which kids love too. I still love the beach in winter.
