It's that time of year I think... the weather is crap, we don't have any long weekends for a while, and it's time to escape the grind, and to escape Melbourne for 4 or 5 days. I'm not a great flyer - certainly not good enough that I'm getting on a plane to SE Asia for 5 days - but I do love driving. So I'm just looking for somewhere to go for a week, see some scenery, maybe visit a beach, probably drink some regional beer and/or wine.

I'm curious to hear about people's favourite destinations in Victoria. I've only lived in Melbourne for about 4 years, and in that time I've spent some time around Ballarat, Bendigo and Inverloch/Phillip Island - where else is worth checking out?

I don't really care about the weather that much - it doesn't keep me from spending time at the beach or anything. I just like to be able to escape the grind and do something different for a week in a location that I can drive to.

Suggestions?

Milawa is a nice place to stop on the way to Beechworth. Brown Brothers winery and a nice cheese factory

Milawa used to have an awesome pizza/pasta place opposite the pub but I think it is gone now

Wilsons Prom or if you really like driving Mildura and then Broken Hill (not in Vicotria) but will give you desert and interesting architecture

Renmark is also worth a visit. Went through there on my sydney -> Perth drive early last year. Really nice town. Nice harbour in Mildura
