Why Visit Healesville and the Yarra Valley

Set between mountain ash forests and vineyard-striped hills, Healesville is the hub of the Yarra Valley. Families are drawn to the world-famous Healesville Sanctuary and the heritage Yarra Valley Railway, while adventurers enjoy walking trails, cycling, yoga retreats and camping.

Food and wine lovers flock here, too. The region is celebrated for its wineries, cellar doors and acclaimed restaurants that showcase the best local produce. Over the years, Healesville has also become a vibrant shopping destination, featuring boutique stores, cheese mongers and delicatessens, wine merchants, bookshops, artisan crafts, and jewellery studios.

About Morris et al.

In March 2020, after 18 years in floristry, Gail purchased the Healesville store she had long admired. With a background in art and a love of garden design and interiors, she has shaped Morris et al into a space that combines comfort, beauty, and purpose.

Today, Morris et al is part of the rhythm of Healesville. Every collection is carefully curated for its quality and sustainability, with colour, texture, and design at the heart of each decision. Locals visit for gifts, fashion and inspiration throughout the year, while day-trippers and weekend explorers include it as part of their Yarra Valley journey.
