I smiled as I saw the town name Sorrento as the one I have visited in Italy is so beautiful but here in Australia, you have found an equally beautiful Sorrento! I love the coastal views and the historic houses. I hadn’t heard of this destination when I visited OZ but if I had it would definitely have been on my trip list.

Your article hooked me in, I was expecting to read about Italy’s Sorrento. This Australian twin city looks like a hidden gem too. I love the view from the London bridge to see those sandstone formations. And it would be interesting to learn more by the visit to Point Nepean National Park. Such a great weekend getaway destination.

Sorrento seems to be the perfect weekend getaway from Melbourne. It’s impressive that the historic houses and buildings built in 1877 with the local limestone are still intact today. It’s great that it is possible to get there by ferry. I would love to visit Point Nepean National Park and explore military forts and tunnels.

Wow what an absolutely breathtaking spot! I’m seriously thinking about taking a New Zealand and Australia trip next year to go visit a friend of mine in New Zealand. I’ll keep this spot in mind if we end up going to Melbourne.

At first, I too thought Sorrento was from Italy haha. Didn’t knew there’s a namesake in Australia. This place looks cool! Very detailed post. Insightful, Interesting and Informative.

So beautiful! I did indeed think of Italy when you said Sorrento, but it was fun to notice that this was about Australia. I didn’t know about this place. The national park seems very interesting with that much history behind it. Looks like you guys had wonderful time!

Sorrento is such a charming and beautiful place to visit. Its name surely reminds me of Italy’s coastline, not somewhere in Australia! I love the view from the London bridge with sandstone formations. It’s interesting to learn that Point Nepean National Park is related to the early European settlement and the defense of Australia.

This brought back my memories from my days in Melbourne. I visited Sorrento a very long time ago and I loved that town. I will definitely plan to go back and stay at the town sometime. It has such amazing views and the London bridge lookout is amazing.

Basing it on the photos, it looks like you can really do a lot of outdoor activities around the area. That Millionaire’s Walk is fascinating. The Point Nepean conveys mystery.

I wish I had known about Sorrento when I was in Melbourne. Millionaire’s Walk and the London Bridge Lookout seem like the perfect place to have morning coffee while exploring. So much history at Point Nepean National Park and it looks so well preserved.
