Last school holidays, I flew down to Melbourne (something I do frequently) to visit my sister and a good friend. I requested a visit to Daylesford as I wanted to dine at Alla Wolf-Taskers' Lake House (two chefs hat) and try lavender scones from the Lavundula Swiss Italian Farm. Not many people know about Daylesford in Sydney. I work with a group of teachers who are well traveled in Australia, and even they all looked at my with raised eyes brows when I told them about my trip.
Daylesford is a quaint little town located in the shire of Hepburn, Victoria. From Melbourne's CBD, I believe it takes 1-1.5 hours by car. When I was there in April, it was like walking through an Autumn postcard. Absolutely gorgeous.
Some people believe pictures speak louder than words. So here they are. Take a look for yourself, and do, if you're ever in Melbourne during the Autumn months, visit this picturesque little town:

| I will blog about my experience at the Lake House sometime in the near future. Is it terrible I'm still thinking about the scones? |
If you don't believe me, read it from a local. Alla Wolf-Tasker (Executive Chef at Lake House) recently shared her thoughts (and love) for Daylesford in an article for Australian Gourmet Traveller:
