THINGS to do
Walk along the shortish but scenic track to the Cairn Curran Weir. When the water level is high enough, it cascades down a Roger McKindley’s amazing outdoor sculpture gallery. It features wonderful artworks made from found objects. It’s regularly open for tours and festivals, but visitors are free to roam around the garden and enjoy the works at their leisure. Do take the time to go for a Newstead itself is pretty, and there are lots of scenic towns within an hour or so of Newstead – Maldon, Castlemaine, Guildford, Daylesford, Talbot, Clunes and Maryborough.
