One of the reasons why I’ve always been happy living here in Melbourne, is that we’re in such a good location.
There’s the good old city life which I enjoy but yearn to get away from on the weekends.
There are the beaches that really aren’t too far away, such as St Kilda Beach.
There are mountains, lakes, country towns all of which are obtainable with a car.
When the BFF and her Hubbly Bubbly came down for a visit, we were tossing our heads trying to figure out where we should bring them. We had thoughts of Ballarat, Phillip Island, the Great Ocean Road, as well as Grampians.
But we settled with Daylesford and its beautiful surroundings. Looking at these pictures, it’s hard to imagine that it was actually pretty much overcast and Melbourne was having a downpour.
Enjoy the pretty sights of Daylesford, as we have 🙂 All pictures were taken around the Lavandula Swiss Italian Farm and Trentham Falls area.
The Daylesford region also offers a wide array of delicious fine food and dining experience.

We kept it simple this time round and went with the flow. More about where we ate further down the track!

Beautiful :). I think there are hot springs near Daylesford as well if I’m not mistaken… I went there once with my parents and it was so relaxing to get away from the city and be with nature for a while.
You’ve hit the nail right on the head as to why I love Melbourne too :).
Aww thanks 🙂
THAT’S SO FARRRRR
It’s an hour away from Melbourne 🙂
I’ve heard (and seen!) so much loveliness about Daylesford… including some pretty nifty desserts at The Lake House. Can’t wait to see what you gobbled up!
Yours,
The Floozy
RAKE SWAYS!
