List of tentative locations we plan to visit:
Organ Pipes National Park - These basalt columns formed by cooling and cracking molten lava are the most famous feature of the park.
Mt Macedon Memorial Cross - After Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance, Mt Macedon Memorial Cross is considered one of Victoria's most significant war memorials. It stands 21 metres high on the summit of Mount Macedon and commemorates all those who have served in wars and conflicts.
Hanging Rock - The rock was created by a volcanic eruption dating back to the Late Miocene about 6 million years ago.
Anti gravity hill - A baffling and unusual place in Woodend is Anti-Gravity Hill. When you tip water onto a hillside facing uphill, it flows 'up' the hill rather than downhill as it should, as gravity would do.
Forest Glade Gardens - Located at Mount Macedon in Victoria, Forest Glade is a historic private garden that is acknowledged as one of the most beautiful in Australia. Please note that Gardens have a entry fee of $15.
Lake Daylesford - Lake Daylesford is a picturesque place to relax by the water. Explore Lake Daylesford's perimeter on foot.
Camel's Hump - A volcanic outcrop that formed six million years ago when thick lava squeezed up through a small opening in the earth. Atop 1011 meters, it offers spectacular views of the surrounding area and is the highest mountain in the Macedon Ranges.
