It’s easy to spend a day or two uncovering Castlemaine’s many treasures. Located on the traditional lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung people, Castlemaine prospered in the 1850s following the discovery of gold. The legacy of those time is still evident today, with cute miners’ cottages nestled against grand old buildings, lining main thoroughfares. Nowadays, this lively town is home to a flourishing arts scene, matched by a talented community of brewers, winemakers and restaurateurs.

Autumn is one of the most popular times to visit the high hills of our region, as the deciduous plants all put on their striking annual display of colour. The changing of the leaves happens as the nights start to cool down; some change sooner than others, meaning that you’ll see different colours, depending on when and where you visit.

It’s all happening in Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges, as we continue to see a steady flow of new openings across the region - from sustainable cellar doors and gin tasting rooms, to shipping container bars, and glamourous overnight digs. Follow our journey around the region to discover what’s new and what’s happening over the coming months.
