Day trips from Melbourne

Coal Creek is really something, these days Just read the write up in Coast magazine!
Plus, if you wanted to see a friendly face, I'm a short drive from there, in the hills to the north of the highway between Korumburra and Leongatha

Another option is that there is a few bus trips from city that go to various places as well might be worth looking into. My cousin did a great ocean road one when she was visiting from UK and loved it.
