Great Dane Lovers – Daylesford Adventure!  Calling all gentle giants and their humans… we're heading to the hills! 
Join us for a beautiful wintery wander through one of Victoria's most charming garden settings:
 Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens, Daylesford

 Sunday, 19 July 2026  9:45am – 12:00pm

 Meet in the carpark (Central Springs Road, Daylesford - top of the hill)

 The Walk Perched on top of an ancient volcanic hill (yes – our Danes will officially conquer a volcano ), the Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens offer stunning views, peaceful paths, and plenty of sniff-worthy spots. We'll follow the garden circuit (~1 km loop) - an easy but slightly undulating walk through English-style gardens.

Expect:

• Towering trees and historic charm 

• Plenty of space for social strolls and group chats

• Photo stops with beautiful backdrops (and even better Great Danes!)

 Café Stop (Very Important!) After our walk, we'll make our way to Wombat Hill House Café - a gorgeous, relaxed country café right in the gardens.
Think:  Fresh sourdough, pastries & doughnuts  Good coffee for humans  Dog-friendly vibes (very important!)
Perfect for a warm drink, a bite to eat, and more chats while the Danes supervise.
 Bonus Stop – Daylesford Sunday Market If you're up for more adventures, just a few minutes away is the Daylesford Sunday Market at the historic railway station:
 18 Raglan Street, Daylesford  Runs every Sunday from 8:00am – 1:00pm (winding down after)
Why it's worth a visit:

• Up to 130 stalls every week 

• A true local institution running for over 45 years

• Dog-friendly (friendly dogs welcome, but leads are a must )

• Free parking (gold coin donation appreciated)

Expect a mix of local goods, treasures, and maybe even something special for your Dane. It's a relaxed, community-run market supporting the local area-perfect to wander before or after our walk.

 So pack a lead, bring your best behaved giant (or at least your happiest one ), and join us for a relaxed, social morning in one of Victoria's most beautiful garden settings.
Let's go for a stroll, a sniff, and a coffee… in true Great Dane style
