Sarah's Guidebook to the Macedon Ranges
Sightseeing
The mountain is a wonderful natural highlight of the Macedon Ranges. There are numerous walking trails with varying degrees of difficulty (for example, Camel's Hump has some stunning views but requires a very steep climb - short but steep). The Cross is magnificent to see, and there is a cafe that does a decent coffee with wonderful views.

A lovely spot to have a more formal meal and enjoy some wonderful local wine while you're at it - and while I say formal, their Pizza is still probably my favourite!
