Sitting southeast of Melbourne in the state of Victoria is Mornington Peninsula. It’s a beautiful, picturesque destination for a sunny holiday, and it’s also home to Mornington’s BIGGEST Ever Easter Egg Hunt.
Harcourts Mornington and Mornington Chamber of Commerce have partnered up to provide everyone of all ages a fun Sunday filled with live music entertainment, sausage sizzles, face painting, balloon artists and of course, a Cadbury chocolate egg hunt.
The best thing about this event is that it is completely free, no strings attached. There are also carefully structured age groups so that the egg hunting is fair to even the littlest egg-enthusiast, with even a hunt round available for 0-3 year olds!
The Easter Bunny is scheduled to make a grand appearance to the delight of all the kids, so hire a car from Melbourne and make sure you’re registered for this fun event!
