century and a must see attraction for the visitors. The extensive restoration
allows you to explore the fascinating lifestyle of the Chirnside family and
their servants. Today we enjoy a Festive Lunch at the Italian Sports Club of Werribee before returning to the Mansion. This
afternoon is at your leisure – take a walk in the grounds, wander the mansion
again, or maybe just relax in your room. Tonight we enjoy dinner at the Mansion.
