Mt. Macedon and Surrounds

It was an absolutely gorgeous day today - the sun was out, the wind was cool, and we were out and about as we took a friend for a drive out to Mt. Macedon and surrounds.

We had an early start, and fetching B was quite an adventure in itself as we haven't been to Glenroy before. After a quick breakfast of wholemeal pancakes and maple syrup, we set off for the day....

And I have completely forgotten that B was with a Filipino family, who would always offer food to eat no matter what. Therefore, we had breakfast #2 before leaving. Fried rice, fried egg and bacon. Yum.

Anyway, we head off to the Macedon ranges and went to the Memorial Cross to start with (it was the first stopover). We then headed to Hanging Rock, had scones and coffee at the cafe, went to the winery nearby, drove around for more sight seeing, had a late lunch at Gisborne, before dropping B back to Glenroy.  

Going to wineries is an extreme sport for our credit cards so we have been very good for getting away with only 2 bottles of wine!!!

Some snapshots below. B said she had a great day!
