Wombat Hill Botanical Gardens

Directions - Located a short walk from the centre of Daylesford, take Central Springs Rd east until you reach Wombat Hill Scenic Dr. Turn here and then take the next right and then left to locate the car park at the top. Alternatively you can park at the Convent Gallery, located off Daly St.

The Walk - With the holiday period spent in lovely Daylesford, I was keen to get out and explore a few locations that I'd visited before but not shared. One of those was the lovely Wombat Hills Botanical Gardens and Convent Gallery that is located a very short distance out of the centre of town. Originally I had planned this as an early morning or after dinner walk but when it was suggested that the entire family come up here for an after dinner walk, I was happy to oblige. Packing a mini-picnic, we loaded up the cars and were soon on top of Wombat Hill facing the Tower of Sauron (more on that later). It was decided that we would head to the main lawn and setup there so we found a free table near Wombat Hill House.
