Here you’ll discover what to do – the quirky, the interesting, and the unique experiences only found in our part of the world.
The road ahead, where your incredible journey begins, will wind you through historic villages, artist communities and spectacular forests that open across sweeping hills.
Drink-in the sparkling mineral water gifted from the land and set-off on a picnic, packed with local produce and wine, to the famous Hanging Rock; or you may like to get practical, even hands-on, and craft a chair, or a wooden spoon. These are just a few of the many original encounters you will find and explore further in the Daylesford Macedon region.
Travel down unfamiliar roads and explore a brave new world. Less than an hour by car from Melbourne’s CBD, Melbourne Airport or a short train journey from Southern Cross, you’ll soon be opening the window and touching the leaves of the trees nestled in the spectacular bush setting.
