Beautiful mansion and gardens run by the national trust, walking distance from Ripponlea station. Until 30 July, there is an exhibition on in the mansion (admission required). But during tbis period, the gardens are free.
Highly recommended as a fun family outing outdoors (if the weather is ok)
Wear boots. You'll thank me later.
What's so good about it?
it's free
Just a pleasant place to spend an afternoon. Nice lawn next to a lake for picnicing, a treehouse, a windmill, picturesque trees / flowers etc. Plenty of paths for kids to go exploring
Also they filled Miss Fisher there! And a new series with Natalie Dormer!
stop trying to be jv
Is Attica close by?
Yes, just across the road. In fact, i believe some of the produce grown at Ripponlea is used at the restaurant
This sounds like the prefect place for an OzB convention
correct me if i'm wrong. Isn't it always free if you enter the garden only (donation is preferred)? you only have to pay if you visit the mansion.
No. There is normally a fee to enter the gardens, and an extra fee for the mansion
It's a nice place, I would recommend it
