The Kyneton Botanical Gardens were laid out in the late 1860s and early 1870s by Baron Ferdinand von Mueller. He provided a large number of trees and shrubs, most of which are still surviving. The Baron also laid out the Botanic Gardens in Melbourne, Bendigo, Castlemaine and Malmsbury.
Kyneton’s racecourse is rated as one of the most picturesque in Victoria. The first record of horse racing held in Kyneton was in 1856. The Kyneton Cup, held on the first Wednesday in November, draws a large crowd. Other events include the Daffodil and Arts Festival in September and the Jazz, Blues and Heritage Festival in October.
Kyneton is 83 kilometres north of Melbourne or about one hour from Melbourne, off the Calder Highway. V/Line trains service Kyneton seven days a week.
