Most popular photosNearby attractionsThe township of Mount Macedon is north of Gisborne. Here, in the late 1800s, wealthy residents of Melbourne built estates to escape to during summer. Visitors continue to visit the old homes and grand European-style gardens, despite so many of them being devastated in the 1983 bush fires. Springtime flower shows and open garden days are a highlight of the area. latest stories
