Why not road trip through the #YarraValley along the #Warburton Highway and visit the #NoojeeTrestleBridge Noojee Trestle Bridge is a restored railway that now opts for a short trail around the forest and is one of the most #instagrammableplaces in the area (just ask @hattybell pictured) The park has picnic facilities, car parks, toilets and is puppo friendly ... On your way (or on your way back) visit some of the #WarburtonHwy favourites: Coffee and a pastry from Gladysdale Bakehouse YUM! Maybe a few cellar door visits at Seville Estate, Whispering Hills Vineyard Brumfield Winery Seville Hill Winery Payne's Rise Winery If you're visiting in u-pick season, why not grab yourself some cherries from CherryHill Orchards or strawberries from Kookaberry Berry Farm.
