Mayor Sam Hearn is the youngest Mayor we have had on the show being in his early 30's. His background is not-for-profit and community development has been a great benefit to him in his role of Mayor.

With a population of around 170,000 and up to 250,000 across summer, the Mornington Peninsula caters for a large population.

Local industry is diverse, across agriculture, wine, heavy industry, hospitality and tourism all playing an important role.

With over 1000 foreshore caravan sites in the region it has become a tradition for many Victorians - with million dollar views of Port Phillip Bay on offer.

Make sure to put the Hot Springs, some golf and maybe even a maze or two on your list of things to do when visiting the Mornington Peninsula.

Make sure to listen to near the end to hear Sam's secret things to do in the region.
