Nature and wildlife in Daylesford and Macedon Ranges

The Daylesford-Hepburn Springs area is famous for its abundance of mineral springs, many of which are found in the Hepburn Regional Park including Sailors Falls, Tipperary Springs, Golden Spring and Argyle Spring. Wash down a picnic lunch with the mineral water supplied by old-fashioned hand pumps or free-flowing pipes.

The Macedon Ranges are renowned for stunning gardens, including nineteenth century botanical gardens and private gardens that are open to the public at certain times of the year, particularly in spring and autumn. There are a number of dramatic natural attractions, such as the mysterious Hanging Rock where you will be rewarded with spectacular views and the occasional koala sighting. The region also has a number of impressive gorges and dramatic peaks found within its national and state parks.
