      Fly from Melbourne mid-morning direct to Flinders Island landing before lunch. On arrival you’ll be whisked to a scenic island location for a very special welcome lunch showcasing local ingredients and, if in season, crayfish fresh from the water. Local wine and locally distilled gin is also served, as you look to the beach and farmland from where your meal was sourced. After lunch, you’ll be taken to Wombat Lodge to settle in for an afternoon of relaxation by the fire, or perhaps a bike ride to the beach or a walk on one of the private trails onsite. Provisions for dinner will be ready for you to enjoy tonight, and there is a well-stocked private bar for you to select your drink of choice from (at cost).
