Fathers Day in the Macedon Ranges

Mount Macedon’s Paul Hill is looking forward to Fathers Day with his 19-month-old son Charlie.

It seems Mr Hill got his Father’s Day present a little early.

“He’s just started talking,” Mr Hill said. “‘Dadda’ was his first word, actually.”

The young father is loving fatherhood, particularly the nappy changing – or so he jokes.

Like many dads, Mr Hill is looking forward to a quiet day and a meal with his family on Sunday.

Father’s Day is traditionally a day to indulge dad’s favourite past-time or simply spend time with him.

In Macedon Ranges, there’s plenty of events to share with all sorts of dads.

Carlsruhe CFA’s Wine and Food Festival will offer art, music, food, wine, beer, craft stalls and children’s activities.

Nearby, the Kyneton Daffodil and Arts Festival will be in full swing with a wide range of activities.

Or just take the chance to enjoy the first weekend of spring in the beautiful region.
