Sightseeing
A Day trip from Sorrento to Queenscliffe via the ferry is recommended. Cars cost around $60. Queenscliffe is an historic place with a Conservation Laboratory on Black Swan Bay; a place of huge natural beauty. The Maritime museum is worth a visit. You can walk around the charming Fisherman's village ( ask where it is - at the Museum). The Steam Railway is fun, if you can book a seat. Many restaurants and pubs; we recommend Saltbush Fine Foods in Hesse St. Excellent natural soups / vegetarian food selection.
