A walk amongst grass trees.
All 28 species of grass trees (Xanthorrhoea) are native only to Australia and contrary to the name they are not grass nor trees, instead being distantly related to lilies.
For our First Nations people grass trees were and are a resource of great importance.
I love getting out into nature and walking among them wondering what they have witnessed with some of them estimated to live for over 600 years.
Get in touch if you want to know which of our adventures take you on walks to places like this…

January 26 has many meanings and we all feel differently about this day.
Many of our First Nations communities experience January 26 as a day of mourning and survival.
As an ally, Wild Adventures Melbourne (WAM) stands in solidarity with our First Nations Peoples in acknowledging that January 26 is not a date to celebrate.
Out of respect we do not operate our tours on this day.
It has been such a privilege to be a part of the creation of the Business for Country program facilitated by Regeneration Projects and the Boonwurrung Land and Sea Council and through this we have commenced our own journey towards deeper cross-cultural connection and understanding.
Really special to be present when this beautiful video by @youngfolksdigital was filmed at a cultural experience at Wonga / Arthurs Seat at the beginning of 2023, to bring together a community of purpose-driven leaders and start the year with reflections and conversations on how we can operate our business with respect for Country.
We encourage you to take time on January 26, and every day, to consider the experiences of Australia’s First Nations community and start a positive conversation in your workplace.

Massive news for WAM, we are now officially a certified B-Corporation!
B-Corp certification is for businesses that have met incredibly high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability with @bcorpanz
From the very origins of WAM, we have set out to deliver tourism differently, and lead by example in a progressive way that has as much of a positive impact on the environment and community as it does on our customers.
It’s a huge achievement for such a small, owner-operator business like WAM so we are really proud of becoming a B-Corp; proud to be one of the few B-Corp tour operators in Australia (alongside operators like @intrepidtravel @rawtravelhikes), proud to join some of the most inspiring brands in the world as a B Corp (including @patagoniaaus), and proud to have gone through the rigorous B-Corp verification process over many months to ensure we meet the comprehensive performance standards and hold ourselves accountable as a force for good.
We are excited to join the B-Corp community and global movement, our commitment as a regenerative tourism business is a continuous process and we can't wait to see what the future holds.
The Mornington Peninsula is such a hub of good people and businesses so awesome to be alongside other amazing B-Corps based in this region including @regen.projects @great_wrap @rawtravelhikes @willandbear @redgumbbq and our friends @zorali across the bay on the Bellarine Peninsula.

Yes we are an eco adventure operator offering epic outdoor activities in nature, but sometimes it’s about stillness, taking a moment to truly immerse yourself into nature.
This breathtaking hidden viewpoint is one of our favourite spots on the #morningtonpeninsula , we climb to the top and spend peaceful chunks of time here thinking and taking a moment.
In fact this location can be found on our self-guided tour: Secret Adventure Picnics on a route we call Rainforests, Roos & Mountain-Top Views’.

Photo from the awesome @shesups_ group we hosted a few weeks back
The beautiful hill that overlooks us as we paddle is named Arthurs Seat, but we prefer to call it by its Indigenous name ‘Wonga’ as it has been known for thousands of years by the Boon Wurrung people.
Wonga is such a special place, the highest point of the #morningtonpeninsula , technically a mountain as it’s over 300 metres high, we spend so much time exploring the abundance of nature trails, wildlife, and panoramic viewpoints on offer. This is where we call home and we love nothing more than sharing this special place with our guests in a way that respects and protects it.
If you are planning to join an eco adventure with us this summer, as we stand up paddleboard the majestic waters from a white sandy beach adorned with colourful bathing boxes, take a moment to look up at Wonga and marvel in her beauty.

With over 200 vineyards, and 50 cellar doors, a visit to the #MorningtonPeninsula wouldn’t be complete without a visit to a beautiful winery.

We have a new and improved coastal bushwalking experience this summer on the @officialmorningtonpeninsula ; one you won’t of heard of, one where you probably won’t see another soul on the nature trails, one where when the tides are right you’ll be able to bathe in an infinity natural rock pool all to yourself, one where you’ll probably be making the first footprints on the day on a secluded beach only accessible by foot.
WAM is about taking your off the beaten track, to hidden gems that only locals know which feel like you are going back in time.
Add that to the other iconic moments we include one our day tours like #standuppaddleboarding , tasting incredible local produce, bathing at the @peninsulahotsprings, and you have yourself the perfect day out you’ll never forget.

Around 60 million years ago, the Mornington Peninsula was a hive of volcanic activity, and there are parts where you can clearly see where the lava once flowed as you walk in the shadows of giant basalt cliffs. The Mornington Peninsula National Park has so many hidden gems to be uncovered on a coastline of over 190kms, we take you from white sandy beaches, to lush coastal bushland filled with wildlife, to paradise natural rock pools. Join our small group eco adventure day tours and we’ll show you…
