Pack a paperback and explore secret gardens and hidden green spaces. Find gently sloping lawns and cool shaded spots beneath elegant trees. Discover your niche in historic greenhouses and rotundas in parks. Immerse yourself in the great outdoors, where novel ideas flow freely, punctuated only by birdsong. Spread a rug on the grass or park yourself on a bench, and settle in for a good read without interruption. Book nooks abound in regional Victoria. Let us show you where to find them.
