The Weekend+ objective is to get you to a happier place, provide you with an uplifting experience, show you new ways of thinking, being positive, self-determination and meeting new friends with whom you can have fun.

Where Is The Forest

The Black Spur Drive cuts through the lush forest landscapes of the Yarra Ranges, linking the Yarra Valley with the mountain areas around Marysville. Famous for its towering trees and spectacular valley views, the Black Spur connects Healesville with Narbethong on the Maroondah Highway as it winds its way up the Great Dividing Range. The distance from Melbourne is 1 hr 50 mins (88 kms). Video of the forest.
