Lake Daylesford
We knew we had to check out the infamous Lake Daylesford during our trip, so we decided to get up early for a sunrise mission on the lake.
As we parked the car in the Lakes main car park, I noticed a beautiful jetty on the other side of the lake, which I just had to see (for some gorgeous photos). After a quick check on the Lakes Map, we realised it was about a 20-minute walk around to the other side of the lake. The walk itself was breathtaking, as we were accompanied by the constant chirping of birds, ducks quacking, water trickling and the smell of clean and crisp country air.
Once we reached the Jetty we quickly fired off a few must-have photos, but the real highlight was sitting on the end of the jetty in complete silence with my fiancé and watching the sunrise. The perfect start to our day!

Daylesford Sunday Market
We explored the Sunday Market at the Railway Station, filled with many handmade, organic and vintage goods the town of Daylesford had to offer.

Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens
A slow walk through the Botanic garden and Wombat hill.
Daylesford Convent
The convent in Daylesford has a rich history of its original housing of the Catholic community. It has since been renovated into an art gallery with an array of artists. Enjoy the sites, grab something to eat from the cafe on the grounds and immerse yourself in the artwork.
Beppe
Right out front of the barn is Beppe, we grabbed some pizzas and settled in for the night.
Cliffys Cafe
Make the short trek down to local haunt, Cliffys, for a chill afternoon latte and delicious eats. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
