This plaque commemorates the reopening of the Mount Macedon Uniting Church on 8th April 1984. Following its restoration after almost total destruction caused by the Ash Wednesday fires of 16th February 1983.

This lovely old weather-board on Mt. Macedon Road houses some wonderful antiques. Even the Ampol petrol pump is antiquated, plus it is still in working order.

Mount Macedon

Mount Macedon in Winter

The Macedon Ranges are famous for their views, native forests, wildlife, historic monuments and, perhaps foremost, their substantial homes and garden flower displays in Spring. At the western end of the range, the 2427 hectare Macedon Regional Park dominates the skyline.

The towns of Macedon and Mount Macedon are well known for their exotic trees, gracious homes and gardens.

The small township of Mount Macedon has a General Store, Pub, Church, Art Gallery, Antique Shop and a plant nursery. The day this photo was taken the wind chill factor would have been on a par with Antarctica - it was freezing.

Mt. Macedon Memorial Cross

Death cannot rob them of their glory, nor time efface the memory of their gallant deeds.

The Memorial Cross sits at the top of Mt. Macedon with magnificent views across the surrounding areas and commemorates those who gave their lives in the First World Waar. It is 21 metres in height and 1001 metres above sea level and is lit at night. The original Cross was unveiled in 1935, but was replaced in 1995 due to storm and fire damage.

Metal and Stone

These gates caught my eye. The fascination of the placement of the metal pieces and the amount of work that went into them. An artwork in itself. And combined with the bluestone of the pillars it brings into focus the elements of nature and how we can use them for not only necessary items, but also for fashioning them as an artistic work.
