Gisborne was named after H.F. Gisborne, the Victorian Crown Lands Commissioner in Port Phillip District. In 1860 the area was declared as a district that had 13 hotels and later in 1871 it was declared a shire. It wasn’t until 1970 when the Tullamarine Freeway opened so people could travel to Gisborne from Metro Melbourne.
Present day Gisborne still has the village character from the past. A perfect combination of old and new/rural and suburban. Roam the leafy streets full
of modern cafes and boutiques, heritage buildings and country homesteads.
Gisborne is situated 54 km north-west of Melbourne, a perfect place for those seeking a tree-change. As the largest town in the Macedon Ranges that possess a semi-rural character and a wealth of open spaces with the amenities of a modern town. Inhale the country air, taste the region’s famous wines and award-winning gin, take a walk-through state parks and botanical gardens.
Residents or travellers commuting from Melbourne can utilise Gisborne’s train station and nearby Calder Freeway. There are also local bus services available in the town.
