Gisborne

Begin an indulgent journey through Victoria's historic goldfields and spectacular Mount Macedon with a visit to Gisborne, the gateway to the Macedon Ranges. Spoil yourself at local wineries, stroll through state parks and botanical gardens, or discover the rich cultural heritage of the goldfields.

Out and about
Enjoy country delights in a cosy cafe or savour a picnic lunch beside Jackson Creek and plan your trip to the Macedon wine region. Meet winemakers and taste at cellar doors, play a round at the Gisborne Golf Course then sample the ever-changing menu at Oma Slow for a culinary experience with a difference.

Looking back
The ancestral home of the Woiwurung people, Gisborne has a rich and varied past. Explore heritage buildings and take in the town's 160-year history. Wander the leafy streets searching for treasures in antique and craft stores, or time your trip to visit the popular Olde Time Market on the first Sunday of each month.

Get close to nature
Spend a day bushwalking, swimming or fishing for blackfish and trout at nearby Lederberg State Park. Discover 500 million years of geological history in the 300 metre deep slate and limestone gorge. Go rock climbing, test your kayaking and rafting skills on the Lederberg River, or hit the slopes on a mountain bike. 
           
Need to slow down? Take a book and relax in the scenic surrounds of the Botanic Gardens featuring a garden tribute to Gisborne's sister city of the same name in New Zealand.
