Sightseeing
This is a small utopia. Creatives, yogis, foodies and artists all congregate across the beautiful grounds of the old convent, and the Collingwood Children's Farm next door is a treat too. I wouldn't make a whole day of it, but if the weather is good and you like a walk, it's about 30mins around the Yarra and they've great cafes and restaurants.
