THE BIG GOOSE - Moorooduc (VIC)

Toby H Excellent spot - the hill is a great walk, theres a nursery at the bottom and a cafe as well. Decent views, but the best bit is definitely the Briars walking tracks. Easy walks of a range of lengths.

Doc Royston A beautiful walk! And some lovely cafes close by for a post or pre refreshment. Highly recommend.

Red Cee Very nice wildlife reserve. Plenty of bird life. Good place for a picnic and chill out.

Marcus Grinblat What the...........?

Pravin Charles Vaz Large family friendly animal farm. Mini golf. small maze, plenty of animals to see and feed. Camel was cool to see on the tractor ride. Kids playground has an adventure feel to it as the slide runs though a silo. Great outing for families.

Perry Did the wetlands walk which was peaceful and easy to complete. A short 2km loop. We came across flocks of Eastern Rosella and wallabies but sadly no koala sighting. Theres a longer walk and other places to explore so worth another visit.

Yang Jin Its so beautiful here. Weve seen kangaroos, emus, kookaburra , but we havent seen koala,I hope we can see them next time.

Tom Chen Walked the whole loop around the lake in 3 hours (13km). Very flat and easy trail with nice scenaries along the way.

Marilyn Clews awesome heritage house and gardens and they regularly have concerts in the gardens and in the house with afternoon tea and nibbles included in the ticket. Our local concert place in the Mornington Peninsula. Definitely recommend!

sventek Beautifully maintained rose gardens here. Its quite a large sized garden with an abundance of roses when visited in March 2025 on a Saturday. Free entry with free parking just outside. Theres a donation box at the entrance (though you can donate online as well instead). Large rotunda in the centre provides shelter from the rain, ramped entrance available. No toilets, but you could walk to the playground area about 400m south and theres toilets there. Not a lot of mature trees to allow picnic shading but some spots available. The site also mentions a "viewing platform" which we missed, unless they just meant the front deck of one of the housing buildings atop some stairs. The ground/grass feels like it would be super muddy and sticky if it got some rain prior. Overall the rose garden delivers your expectation to view large variety of roses should you visit during season, typically around Oct - April. Thank you to the volunteers who made this possible, my toddler and I enjoyed our visit ❤️
