Located at the top of Daylesford it is a bit of a hidden gem I think. Great for a picnic or grab a coffeee from the cafe and stroll around the historic parklands. Best time to visit in Autumn when the leaves are showy

The crowning glory of Daylesford is this mature botanical garden that caps the summit of Wombat Hill overlooking the town. Planned and cultivated in the golden (both in scale/quality but also reflecting the source of finance) Victorian era of civic pride in the rich and largely unmined soil of an extinct but relatively young volcano, the gardens now boast international specimens of coniferous and deciduous trees of apparently better growth than in their native countries. A corridor of elms line a walk skirting around the hilltop that doubles as a scenic drive of views over the highlands. Californian redwoods, Scots pines, blue spruce and Himalayan and Lebanese cedars rear up majestically over monkeypuzzles, weeping beeches, lindens and chestnuts in the woodland and picnic grounds surrounding Pioneers Tower, an Art Deco lookout near the car park and sheltered fernery (regenerated by Stuart Rattle). A path goes to Wombat House cafe via a gazebo/bandstand and glasshouse with an amazing annual begonia display; beyond the cafe through a range of north-facing hellebores and rhododendrons is a track to the Convent or down to Camp Street and the town.

It is a beautiful botanic garden designed many years ago. A great place for a picnic in summer.

This is the highest point in Daylesford and offers stunning greenery and views. Climb the tower to get a birds eye view of the township.
