Explore the Overnewton Castle
This intriguing building was built and owned by Brimbank pioneer, William Taylor, on his 13000-acre property around the Keilor region. He later added the Scottish Baronial Castle following a trip overseas. Both of these castles exist today, and look very much like when they were first built. Today, they are a favourite venue for tours, high tea functions and elaborate weddings as they feature some of the best landscaped gardens in Melbourne. Luxurious accommodation is also available here. Viewings of the garden are available by booking only and bookings must be made through Overnewton Castle prior to arriving.
Stroll or Cycle along the Maribyrnong River
Take relaxing walks or cycle along the Maribyrnong River, or go fishing from the jetties if walking or biking is not what you are looking for. The parklands on the either side of the river, for instance Fairbairn Park and Maribyrnong Park are perfect for picnicking too. If these activities don’t thrill you, then make a visit to the Living Museum of the West to learn more about the region’s history.
