Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens sit on the rim of an extinct volcano, offering sweeping views of the Daylesford region. Established in the 1860s, these gardens feature mature trees, a fernery, and a network of walking paths. Visitors can explore the rhododendron dell, the giant redwood, and the historic rotunda. The elevated position provides a cool retreat and photo opportunities over the surrounding countryside.
