Melbourne Day 1: Yarra Valley & Healesville

Arriving Melbourne airport at 8.30am; just on time.
But out of my expectation, we were delay for airport clearance due to long queue. It took almost an hour!
We then cross the street to Hertz office to collect our car rental which we did online.
They upgraded our car from a compact toyota corolla hatch to nissan; without extra charge! :)
After collect our car rental, we are really out of our schedule. So we skipped Healesville Sanctuary and decide to spend longer time enjoying our first meal at Beechworth Bakery :)
It's the type of cafè I love to hang out in. More over, with the natural cool breeze. Add on with smells of coffees, cakes and pastry! Bliss :)
We had carrot cake and pies and mocha's. The mocha's are superb! Nice! :)
After filling our tummy and relax ourself.. we headed out. Beautiful autumn color! I love it!
We walk to next door, which is a brewery.
And bought half dozen of apple cider :)
We stop by coldstream brewery for more cider! But it is disappointing that they don't have the cider taste testing counter. So we didn't bought anything.
Next was Yering Station for wineries :)
Free tasting.
Then to the diary farm.
It disappointed me that they don't sell mini size cheese.
We went to Lavender Farm before we call it a day.
Actually there's not much of lavender left due to it's already end of season.
