Visit Mt Macedon Memorial Cross
After Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance, Mt Macedon Memorial Cross is considered the most significant war memorial in Victoria. Located on the summit of Mt Macedon, this imposing structure stands 21 metres high and commemorates all those who served in wars and conflicts. It is one of the most poignant locations for Anzac Day dawn commemorations in the country.
Many visitors also enjoy bushwalks in Memorial Cross Reserve, barbecues at popular picnic spots such as Days Picnic Ground and Devonshire Teas at Top of the Range Tea Rooms.
You can also stop at the tiny village of Mount Macedon on your way up the mountain, and the beautiful Forest Glade Open Garden.
There are also a couple of fantastic cellar doors you can visit to round out the day, including Mount Macedon Winery and Mount Towrong Vineyard.
