I suppose Mount Macedon is Melbourne's Hausberg. You can see it in the distance, for instance, in this watercolor from 1847 from the State Library of Victoria, depicting one of the candidate events for the founding of Melbourne in 1835, Batman's agreement with the Aborigines.

Mount Macedon?
Came up to Shepparton again to take care of my nephews while my sister and her husband did some more househunting. They seem to have taken a liking to a place less than an hour northwestish from Melbourne called Macedon, at the foot of one of the biggest mountains in these parts. (No mountain in Australia is very high, Mount Macedon's peak is apparently sometimes capped with snow!)
