Travel Dates: October 2020
Malmsbury and Edgecombe are small towns in Central Victoria. They’re about a 12 minute drive away from each other. It’s the perfect outing to start with an early morning farmer’s market run then finish off with a hike through the Blackhill Nature Reserve in Edgecombe.
Malmsbury, VIC
Malmsbury Farmer’s Market
This was our first farmer’s market/public outing since the pandemic started. It felt so strange to be outside but also so nice. We were just excited to be outside again with people and probably bought way more things than we needed just so we could support the locals. All the vendors that accepted cash had a disinfectant tub with a slot where you would put in the money so there was minimal direct contact and spread of germs (good thing we had plastic money).
Malmsbury Bakery Cafe
A well-known local bakery. They had decent pies and a nice outdoor space to sit and eat.
Malmsbury Botanic Gardens
Blackhill Nature Reserve, Edgecombe VIC
Not too far from where we were staying in Kilmore, this tucked away nature reserve had great views!
