About Mount Macedon Trading Post, General Store, Cafe & Post Office

Part working Australia Post branch, part country trading post, this Macedon fixture pairs daily morning mail runs with fresh-baked pastry. Day-trippers stop in after climbing Hanging Rock for golden lamb and rosemary pies served alongside house relish, or lingering bowls of Thai green curry. Wooden shelves pack regional wines, preserves, and loaves of seeded sourdough bread. Out on the mountain-facing deck or inside beside the parcels, regulars drop by for cups of St Ali coffee and warm cinnamon scrolls straight from the morning bake.

  • Scratch-Baked Daily Pies: Baked daily on-site with flaky pastry crusts, featuring options like chicken and leek alongside lamb and rosemary served with relish.
  • Post Office & Regional Larder: Combines postal package counters and casual cafe seating with regional wines, cookbooks, artisan sourdough loaves, and local preserves.
