Tuesday 15th April 2025 – Colours of Autumn – Forest Glade Gardens, Mt Macedon
Our second outing for April is to The Avenue of Honour & the Forest Glade Gardens for the colours of autumn.
The Avenue of Honour is just outside the township of Macedon and Forest Glad is 5 minute drive from the township of Mt Macedon.
Unfortunately, the organisers are not arranging carpooling from Melbourne to Macedon.
The outings are designed so that you have the freedom to decide on the day, whether you want to come to the outing.
However, at Macedon, we will arrange carpooling for train travellers and to Forest Glade depending on parking availability.
Hopefully the trees will co-operate and give us a spectacular performance.
Unfortunately we can’t guarantee the colours.
