Woodend was first established as a main thoroughfare for those seeking their riches in Victoria’s goldfields in the 1850s. The legacy of those times is still evident today, with historic buildings lining the main boulevard, sitting alongside boutique shops, cosy cafés and charming country pubs. With Mount Macedon providing a stunning backdrop to the town, Woodend is also the ideal launching pad for exploring Hanging Rock.
