Blackwood, arguably the most beautiful mountain village in Victoria, is a delightful little township set in the mountains of the Wombat State Forest, just over one hour's drive from Melbourne, and about 25 minutes from Daylesford, Woodend or Kyneton. Wherever you turn the views are of beauty and peace. It offers bush-walking, fishing, horse-riding and is home to the famous Garden of St Erth. There are numerous places to eat, and the Mineral Springs have been renowned for many decades.

If you don't know Blackwood, you have a delight in store.
