Last year for my birthday holiday we spent a week in Kyneton, 1 hour north-west of Melbourne. It is a country town in the Macedon ranges region of Victoria, Australia.
We stayed at the Kyneton Bush Resort, which is set on 50 acres of natural Australian bushland. To make it educational and fun, the resort has created bush walks with information maps the describes the sites, flora and fauna in the area.
The resort also has fun ways to play games outdoors. Here we have wildflower chess, snakes and ladders and hop scotch.
Today there are two sections of the Kyneton township – the commercial and the historic. One of my favourite places was the Kyneton museum. It is housed in the original the Bank of New South Wales building built in 1856. The downstairs old bank area holds changing special exhibitions. When we were there this was a creative display of young peoples fashion design. Upstairs, which was the bank managers residence is a permanent display of what daily life was like for him and his family. Outside there are also displays in each room and the stables. The displays were fun and full of information and I enjoyed seeing the past come alive and going down memory lane.
What a lovely and imaginative place to be. Cheers! Here’s my latest post: https://katheatoz.blogspot.com/2020/04/saturday-april-18-2020-p-is-for-penguin.html
