There’s nothing quite like a garden in autumn – and the Duneira Garden is no exception.

Located in the picturesque Duneira Estate in Mount Macedon, the garden is an array of radiant reds and outstanding oranges.

The 6.5-hectare garden will open for one weekend to show off its luminous autumn colours as part of Open Gardens Victoria.

Property manager Pip Shannon (pictured) said autumn was one of the best times to see the garden in full bloom.

“The garden is opening because of the spectacular autumn display,” she said.

Duneira Garden was established in 1872 and is situated on the historic Mount Macedon Hill Station – a now heritage-listed site.

“It’s classified by Heritage Victoria and we’ve got significant trees listed with them, so that’s a big deal,” Ms Shannon said.

The garden will open on April 13 and 14 between 10am-4.30pm both days at Officer Lane, Mount Macedon.
