Heading north out of Melbourne and past the airport you quickly come to the countryside. From there drive another 10 minutes and turn right and drive for a further 20, with beautiful changing rural landscape through ‘granite’ territory until you come to Tooborac. At that point you will find a quaint hotel that is also a brewery that is also a bakery (lovely meat pies!). This is a perfect first leg for a Goldfields tour which can encompass Kyneton, Daylesford and other similar Victorian towns.
