This month, we’re heading to Mornington on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula.
Just over an hour’s drive from Westbrook, Mornington has long been a favourite destination for coastal holidays and cosy winter escapes. In the warmer months, swimming and surf beaches await, while seaside restaurants and local markets provide plenty of places to eat and drink. When the temperature drops, fireside dining and art exhibitions turn up the heat.
In great news for Westbrook residents, the new Tarneit Park Hub on Leakes Road adjacent to Tarneit Central Shopping Centre, is continuing to grow!
Anchor tenant Bunnings, which opened in 2021 in Stage 1 of the development, has now been joined by a number of well-known national retailers including mycar, Repco, Pet Stock and Autobarn, as well as a Fernwood Gym and three food and restaurant operators – 7 Eleven, Starbucks and Hungry Jacks, all of which all opened late in 2023.
There are plenty of fantastic places you can visit within an hour from Westbrook.
This month, we’re heading to Ballarat.
The heart of Australia’s goldfields, Victoria's largest inland city is a thriving hub of contemporary arts, events, food and wine, with a fascinating heritage, and – of course – plenty of gold-themed attractions. Here are our top picks of things to do in Ballarat.
RSPCA Victoria’s low-cost pet vaccination days return to Wyndham next month.
The clinics run by RSPCA Victoria vets are aimed at making veterinary care more accessible for people and their pets.

Pet owners can also receive professional advice on how to keep them healthy now and into the future.
Wyndham students returning to school next week will be able to do so via a number of new bus routes announced by the state government.

From the start of term one, new morning and afternoon services will transport students from Wyndham Vale and South Werribee to Walcom Ngarrwa Secondary College which is located on the corner of Frome Crescent and Armstrong Road.
Demand for new land and homes at Westbrook Estate show no sign of abating if recent sales are anything to go by. Since sales first commenced mid-way through 2015, land in the estate has been highly sought after, attracting buyers from all over Melbourne, interstate and even overseas, with some 4,500 residents now calling the estate ‘home’. And it’s not hard to see why.
