| Daylesford information and attractions |
The township of Daylesford is located within a region that contains Australia's largest concentration of natural mineral springs. Many grand and historical buildings are well preserved in Daylesford, dating back to the town's former gold mining days in the 1800s. The town is surrounded by scenic hills, forests and numerous lakes, the largest and most popular being Lake Daylesford, situated adjacent to the town's commercial centre. Lake Daylesford is surrounded by an attractive reserve, particularly colourful in autumn, and includes a number of walking tracks, mineral springs, jetties, BBQs and picnic areas. Other attractions within the town include the Wombat Hill Botanical Gardens and lookout tower, the Convent Gallery, and the railway musuem. Daylesford has long been a popular destination for Victorians seeking relaxing breaks in attractive surroundings. Located a short 5 minute drive north of Daylesford is the mineral spa resort town of Hepburn Springs, surrounded by the Hepburn Regional Park. |
