21.01.2022 Take the road less travelled. It is easy when travelling to the Daylesford Macedon Region to arrow straight towards the more iconic destinations on offer. While these popular spots are amazing, in these times of taking stock and slowing down, perhaps the area less-visited awaits our appreciation. Franklinford is a small community in the Hepburn Shire and it is a quiet treasure trove for absorbing the history and natural beauty. Nature as therapy has never been so necessary..., and this tiny slice of Franklinford is surely just what the doctor ordered. https://daylesfordmacedonlife.com.au//the-road-less-trave/ Image by Issa Ouattara Sculpture Places mentioned: Issa Ouattara Sculpture www.mtfranklinestate.com.au Pennyweight Farm #daylesfordmacedonlife
