Last weekend we made a family trip to the charming town of Woodend and then picnicked at the Mount Macedon Memorial Cross site. Its located about 45 mins fro the CBD of Melbourne.
We had made at least 3-4 trips to Mount Macedon but could never locate its actual location so was determined to go there this time around. Found very little information or photographs of the place online. Its worth a trip an the drive in the cold hilly air is beautiful.
Mount Macedon Memorial Cross
Its about a 4min drive further than the Camels Hump lookout which is another beautiful climb. The Memorial Cross was built to honour Australian Soldiers who laid down their lives for the country. There is a beautiful short walk up to the cross and a couple of panoramic views of the surrounding hillside. There is ample area to picnic, even a quaint stone picnic pavillion. Also a very good cafe and gift shop.
