Cycle Dindi 26

14 Mar 2026

Cycle Dindi 26 is a joint project by the Rotary Clubs of Alexandra and Yea, together with Friends of the Great Victorian Rail Trail and is a charity bicycle ride along the trail.

It is centered on the lovely townships of Yea, Yarck and Alexandra and includes those towns as starting locations. Riders have a number of distances and options to choose from. This year the prices are again linked to the rider, not the distance. Included in your entry ticket is Billy tea and damper, a barbecue lunch at Cathkin and Tunnel Treats, a chance to pause and take in the historic Cheviot Tunnel whilst enjoying some refreshments.

Money raised will be used to support Rotary Youth Projects.

Gather and Bloom Twilight Pick

28 Feb 2026 (+8 more)

Gather and Bloom Twilight Pick is a unique seasonal event at Bloom Into You Flower Farm. Just over one hour from Melbourne, this immersive twilight experience invites visitors to explore a boutique flower farm as the sun sets, gather their own blooms, and enjoy an evening of food, music, and connection in a serene country setting.

Stroll along grassy pathways lined with dahlias, zinnias, and cosmos glowing in the golden hour light. Breathe in the scent of fresh blooms and listen as gentle acoustic music drifts across the fields. Guests can elevate their evening with The Bloom Graze for Two, a premium picnic box, or relax at their styled Bloom Table for eight.

Perfect for Melbourne day trips and weekend getaways, this seasonal event offers stunning photography opportunities, hands-on floral activities and a memorable connection to Victoria’s rural beauty. Visitors are encouraged to linger, soak up the peaceful surroundings, and leave with a hand-picked bouquet as a memento of their evening.

As part of A Summer in Bloom, guests may also enjoy Brunch Among the Blooms, a premium long-table dining experience, or stay overnight at Villa Minto, a luxury accommodation overlooking the flower farm, to complete their country escape.

Numbers are limited to maintain an intimate feel. Early bookings are essential.
