ATXtraveler Says: If you are looking for a good way to get an appetite built up for lunch, then head out to the local lawn bowling club and get your workout. I have never really seen a community as co-ordinated as the Daylesford Lawn Bowling Club, with the matching suits for a Saturday...
Anne12 Says: If you are walking around the Lake Daylesford area and can hear laughter coming across the lake this just might be the Laugh Club folk.Yes, Daylesford has now a Laugh Club. Every Saturday at 9.00am on the banks of Daylesford Lake you too can join in.What a great way to start...
sirgaw Says: Although I do not appreciate the taste of natural mineral water, there are many who flock to the free pumps to “take the water” as it has become known.To me the taste is more reminiscent of rusty water, however just swing the handle and water gushes out the spout and you can...
sirgaw Says: One of the must see/do attractions for Daylesford is the old convent now converted into an up-market shopping precinct, gallery, café, bar, wedding venue and so much more. Located on 6 hectares of landscaped gardens on the side of Wombat Hill and only a short distance from...
Daylesford Spa Country Railway
sirgaw Says: I must admit that I am a train “nut” and am drawn like a moth to a night light source to trains. Sadly Dayleford lost its railway connection to the outside world in 1978, but then again it was a branch line and a trip to Melbourne would have entailed a change of trains at...

Boat House Cafe: Brekkie with a View
ATXtraveler Says: Early on Saturday morning, Anne, Sarah, Doug and I ventured out of sleepy little Hepburn Springs into the bustling town of Daylesford, and on to the beautiful lake front cafe of the Boat House on Daylesford Lake. There were plenty of ducks on the water as we "ducked" in...
Sweet Decadence at Locantro: Go to the Choco Capital of Daylesford
ATXtraveler Says: While combing the streets for bargains on antiques, books, and country art, the crew got a little hungry for some lunch. Anne directed us to a place that would surely fill our caloric intake for the afternoon as well as curb our sweet teeth for a few minutes and this was at...

ATXtraveler Says: I am not sure if you are like me when it comes to your food selections, but I love peanut butter. Unfortunately for me, it is normally well preserved and plenty of fat and oils are added to it to make sure that it remains in a consistent state on the grocery store shelves....

Daylesford Lake and Jubilee Lake
firefly75 Says: It is not safe to swim in Daylesford Lake or Jubilee Lake. The council sign "swimming under adult supervision" is simply not good enough - it should be more straight to the point "Deaths have occured here - Do not Enter".In 2007, a 14 year old boy stepped into the water to...
Anne12 Says: Mount Franklin is a lovely place to visit especially during the Autumn when the leaves are changing colour.Here you can do some small walks, lay in the sun, have a BBQ or take a picnic.You only have to drive for about 10 minutes from Daylesford on the Castlemaine Road and...
Vincent Street (main street of Daylesford)
Kate-Me Says: Even just taking a walk along the main street of Daylesford is always enjoyable, as I always see something different or new - new boutiques or cafes opening, shops changing. So many cafes and eateries to choose from too.
ATXtraveler Says: If you are looking for the more historical account of Daylesford, then you are best to check out the current ANZ bank in downtown Daylesford. This is the former home of Daylesford's reigning queen of VT, Anne12. Anne grew up in this bank (at the time it was a house), and...
