This Australia Day, pack the car for a drive in the country and join members of Victoria’s GLBTI community, their family and friends to celebrate our national holiday with the annual Australia Day Picnic in the beautiful gardens at Forest Glade, Mount Macedon.
Pack a picnic rug and go all out with your most gourmet of picnic hampers and enjoy lunch in one of Australia’s finest private gardens, only an hour from Melbourne.
The Melbourne Gay and Lesbian Chorus and the Melbourne Rainbow Band will be there to add a musical touch while you take leisurely strolls through the fourteen acres of magnificent landscaped gardens.
Located on Mount Macedon Road, gates will be open from 10am to 4pm on Tuesday January 26. Entry is $10 for adults and kids are free. Proceeds go towards supporting the Chorus and the Band.
In order to keep these spectacular gardens looking just so, BBQs and pets are not permitted. Sunscreen, good food, good company and a designated driver are highly recommended.
Date/Time: Tuesday 26th January 2016 – 10am to 4pm
Venue: Forest Glade Gardens
816 Mount Macedon Road, Mount Macedon

Getting there:
Driving from Melbourne, follow the Calder Freeway and take exit C322 to Mt Macedon. Once you are off the freeway follow Mt Macedon Road toward MOUNT Macedon (as opposed to Macedon). After driving through Mt Macedon, Forest Glade is on the right hand side – look for the rainbow flags.
