Daylesford and Macedon Ranges region map

Introduction:

The Daylesford and Macedon Ranges region is a short drive north of Melbourne and boasts the largest concentration of natural mineral springs in the country. Just north of the historical and well preserved town of Daylesford is the restored Hepburn Springs spa complex which is popular with visitors.

The towering peak of Mount Macedon and nearby Hanging Rock are part of a six million year old dormant volcano. Many historic towns within the region have retained their early European influence, offering visitors a unique visual and culinary experience.

In the region's north-west, near Ballarat, are a number of historical former gold mining towns including Clunes and Creswick.
