At the foot of Mount Sturgeon, the southern tip of the Grampians and the Great Dividing Range you will find the booming little town of Dunkeld.
Named after a town in the Scottish Grampians, Dunkeld has enjoyed a stellar revival in the last 15 years.
The attraction to Dunkeld is instant, the well kept main street is dotted with shops, the stand-out feature being the Royal Mail Hotel where linen-lined tables serve gourmet meals as well as high quality pub fare. Gourmet Traveller magazine voted its wine list as the best in Australia. The huge list includes local wines from the Henty, Grampians and Pyrenees wineries.
Dunkeld is well and truly on the tourist map now as the starting point for many who look to spend time in the Grampians, but Dunkeld has many highlights of its own.
You will find an Arboretum at the end of a pleasant walk along the small creek through the town. This well-loved sanctuary has been cleverly planned, the walking track meanders past hundreds of trees including many giant red gums. Central to the area is a series of small lakes that are crossed by several bridges. It is a walk that will take you on both a physical and mental journey. What could be better than watching the end of the day from the small pier with a stunning view of Mount Abrupt, alight in the red glow of sunset.
Take a stroll around the Arboretum to the cache and you will find the usual swaps and a scratchie for the first to find
Enjoy and happy caching
