Mt. Macedon

Two of a Kind

Imagine seeing not one, but two - these lovely old chevies were parked outside the Bakery at Yarra Glen one Sunday afternoon. Wouldn't it just give you a thrill to go riding around in one?

Aged Antiques

Edward Clark Antiques

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.

Alpine Wildflowers

Alpine Mint Bush (Prostanthera cuneata)

One of our beautiful native wildflowers that can be found at Lake Mountain in the Victorian high country. One of 1050 native flowering plants and fern species in the alpine regions it flowers from November through to April, and fruits from December to March and emits a lovely fragrance.

Once a wonderland of beauty, the Lake Mountain trails are currently closed due to the devastating Black Saturday bushfires on February 7th This year.

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.

The Rugged Rock

Round and round the rugged rock
The ragged rascals ran,
But here in this wee photo,
They sat and got a tan!

Taken at Wilson's Promonontry near Squeaky Beach.
