-The Easter Garden Quest at the Fitzroy Gardens<\/p>\n

-A freehand street art workshop at Blender Studios, near Flagstaff Gardens<\/p>\n

With uninterrupted bay views across to the You Yangs and Melbourne, Portarlington is a beautiful bayside town.<\/p>\n

Just up the hill from the beach, the street has a strip of cafes, bakeries and take away plus a good old-fashioned pick-your-own lolly shop.<\/p>\n

The kids travel free offer is only available between 7 and 23 April and is not available in conjunction with any special events such as FISH Clubs, Special one-hour cruises, or other special event cruises (other than AFL Footy Ferries).<\/p>\n
