Geelong to Bendigo road trip attractions: Chocolate Mill and Mount Franklin Reserve

The Daylesford to Bendigo leg of the Geelong to Bendigo drive follows the Midland Highway out of Daylesford, skirting the edge of the Hepburn Springs Mineral Reserve.

It then goes past the Chocolate Mill – a specialist chocolate shop that has developed a reputation for high quality chocs.
