Iconic Hanging Rock...
Now you can enjoy more than a picnic at Hanging Rock. Craft Markets Australia will host two special craft and produce markets at this well-known tourism icon yearly.
Visitors can expect to find an excellent variety of both local and regional stalls offering quality Australian-made products, delicious gourmet foods, and fresh homegrown produce. The Macedon Ranges is less than an hour's drive from Melbourne along the Calder Freeway, and only half that time from Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport.
Hanging Rock is easily accessed from the A79 Calder Freeway which passes by on the eastern side of Woodend or via Mt Macedon or from the M31 Hume Highway by turning off at Kilmore and travelling through Lancefield, or alternatively from Wallan via Romsey. There's ample parking, great public amenities, and easy walking.
