What Makes This Area Unique
Victoria's spa country — Daylesford, Hepburn Springs, and the creative tree-change capital
Hepburn covers Daylesford, Hepburn Springs, Clunes, Trentham, and Creswick. Daylesford is the star — a historic gold rush town that's become one of Australia's premier tree-change and wellness destinations, with a thriving LGBTQ+ community, artisan food scene, and natural mineral springs.
Living here: Hepburn Shire is the most lifestyle-oriented small shire in Victoria. Daylesford has café culture, galleries, and a community that's both creative and welcoming. Property prices reflect this — it's no longer a budget tree-change. Services are limited; Ballarat and Bendigo handle complex needs.
