Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens

High ground above the Daylesford township, planted with an assortment of flowers, ferns and mature trees and threaded by a small network of paved and unpaved trails. The lookout tower at the top gives a wide view over Daylesford and across to Hepburn. It is a compact, unhurried garden — picnic tables, a rotunda, barbecues, shade and toilets — at the crown of Central Springs Road, a short climb from the town's main street.
