Information on Mornington, VIC 3931
Mornington lies ideally situated now, only 55 minutes from Melbourne via the new East Link freeway and either Monah or Eastern Freeway entrances, and only 30 minutes from the general eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

At the foot of the town are the main historical buildings and a great park that overlooks Schnapper Point and the pier below.

The pier, eatery and walks at Schnapper Point are a great way to get the day started in the area, followed by a drive around the many nearby wineries that make up the Mornington Peninsula region.
