The girls have decorated the Gardens with colourful lanterns and gear.
Here you can get funky cloggs, clothes and fashion jewellery.
It's a fun place to wonder around in side the shop and outside on the lawns. Leave a Comment Address: Main Road HepburnDirections: On the left heading south, next to the Post Office

 Beautiful lavender & the main
stone cottage by saraheg77, 4 more photos
I did buy some lavender products in the shop. A lavender bubble bath for $12.50 that smells great and bubbles well and a hand soap for $9.50 and foot soak for $4.
As I mentioned, the lavender scones were very tasty with just a subtle hint of lavender. See my pictures for a shot of Anne & the scones.

Gold miners built this tunnel through a quartz reef between the 1850s & 1870s. It was built to divert Sailors Creek so they could scour the creek bed for gold. There is an impressive little waterfall to see when the creek is full.
The Blowhole is a short jaunt from the carpark and there is a plaque with more details of the tunnel. It is easy to get to and a quick stop for a pretty sight.
The Blowhole is part of Hepburn Regional Park,"... which is nestled around the famous mineral springs townships of Daylesford, Hepburn and Hepburn Springs. The Park contains natural mineral springs and significant relics of the gold mining era, all set in delightful bush surroundings. Each season provides a different experience, with spring being a time of activity, growth and colour." You can check the website below for details on the walks and other areas of the park.

Lavendula Lavender Farm - Outside of Hepburn Springs
It cost $3.00 to go into the Lavendula Lavender Farm - it was money well spent. You could spend the whole day there.
At Lavendula Lavender Farm you can walk among the lavender beds and smell the roses. There are numerous garden paths you can walk along.
You can meet a scarecrow in one of the garden beds.
We met a flock of geese with goslings (baby geese) which were cute and yellow and fluffy.
We walked around all the garden beds.
Then we walked to the Artists Residence - sometimes it is open and you can see an artist at work - there was no-one there the day we went.
We saw some llamas lying around - rolling in the dirt.
Then we wandered over to the restaurant - here you can purchase home made lemonade, scones, jam and other delicacies. At the restaurant you can purchase lavender scones, jam and cream (two scones) for $7.50. It was a tad expensive but yummy. Directions: Lavendula Lavender Farm is just out of Hepburn Springs towards Yandoit.

During our wild weekend with Anne12 in Hepburn, we took a drive out to Lavendula Lavender Farm, which is a wonderful little afternoon spot. Although there were clouds coming over the horizon with rain written all over them, AussieDoug, Sarah, Anne and I trekked out to the farm to get the smell of fresh lavender in our noses before the rain came in. We were lucky enough to enjoy a beautiful day in the fields, without a single drop falling on our head.
There are several different fields of lavender, and also a great rose garden. There would be plenty of places for bridal portraits, and there were several couples walking around looking for the place to take the perfect photo.
There is also a good little cafe located here on the farm, but you will read more about that in the restaurant tips! Leave a Comment

 one of the lavender gardens by Kate-Me
A good time to visit is during the Lavender Harvest - this year held on the (2nd, 3rd & 4th week of Jan) where there is also entertainment and stalls and other things to be seen as well.
January 2004 was my first ever visit there and I rather enjoyed the European atmosphere. Leave a Comment Address: Shepherds FlatDirections: drive through Hepburn Springs and turn left at the brown sign to the farm. 5 kms more will lead you directly there.
