Start at the Visitor Centre
127 High Street is stop zero. From there the pins are numbered in a sensible walking order — about 13.2 km if you do the lot, though most people pick off a few streets at a time.
4–13 September 2026 · Kyneton, Macedon Ranges
49 scarecrows have appeared in front yards, shop windows and on nature strips right across Kyneton. Follow the map, tick them off as you go, and see how many you can find before they come down on 13 September.

The interactive map
Tap any scarecrow for its name, address and a photo where we have one, then tick it off on the spot. There is no need to do the whole trail in one go — a few streets makes a good outing. The dotted line is the suggested order if you do want the lot, starting at the Visitor Information Centre on High Street.
