Yesteryear Today Carriages: Horse Drawn Country Carriage Rides in the Macedon Ranges

Relax and unwind to the rhythmic clip clop of hoof beats as the beautiful countryside slowly unfolds around you.

Enjoy the countryside in a comfortable horse drawn carriage pulled by carriage horse Patrick.

It’s the perfect way to slow down and be in the moment! Whether you want a romantic drive for two, a picnic trip to a winery with friends, a sightseeing historical tour, a gift for a loved one or an experience for your children, I can do them all.

Choose between an authentic 1890s buggy waggonette, of the ‘Picnic at Hanging Rock’ era, which takes up to 3 passengers, or a larger, easy access covered picnic wagon which can take up to 6 passengers.
