Silvan
A compact Victorian town east of Melbourne where the fertile soils support orchards, berry farms, and flower growers — many open for pick-your-own visits. Silvan also lends its name to the silvanberry, a cultivated hybrid blackberry variety developed in the area. Sitting between the suburban hubs of Belgrave and Lilydale in the Yarra Ranges, it makes a straightforward day trip from the city for anyone after fresh produce and rural scenery.
