Mazes For Kids
Magnificent High Country - Victoria - Australia
You are here ... Home / Maze Gardens / Mazes for Kids
2003 saw the beginnings of the dream for the High Country Maze situated in the magnificent High Country region of Victoria.
Tracey and Dean Shipley love mazes for kids having visited Victoria's best with their family, so they decided that they had to produce one of their own.
Since then they have transformed a 6 acre bare block into a maze of beautiful walled gardens.
Dean and Tracey both love gardening. Their incredible and driven passion, is now mirrored through their maze on the outskirts of beautiful Mansfield, in 'The Man from Snowy River' country.
- In 2013 Dean and Tracey where finalists in the ABC Gardening Australia Magazine Gardener of the Year competition with only 2 being selected Australia wide a huge honour and they were proudly awarded 'The Silver Trowel'award.
- The High Country Maze for kids was also recognised with the JUDGES AWARD at the Mansfield District Business Associations Awards in 2013.
- COSMOPOLITAN Magazine also featured a stunnning High Country Maze Garden Wedding.

Building The High Country Mazes For Kids
There are 2 Mazes for kids, with the main maze incorporating a Gnome Hunt. Thoroughly engaging for the kids and the 'young at heart'.
If all the gnomes happen to be found, then there is a surprise at the end of the adventure.
Both parents and children get to enjoy and share this fun experience together.
Here is a selection of photos that shows the whole family at work
building what now can only be described as being one of Victoria's best
mazes for kids to thoroughly enjoy.
To quote Tracey ...
“My husband Dean and I have taken a bare paddock and turned it into what you
see today (with no outside help) with the idea of having a place for the whole
family to enjoy, the response we have had so far from the public has been
great, so I think we have succeeded in creating something that will make family
memories.”
'Gone Fishing' At The High Country Maze

Photo boards, pixies and large featured topariaries are scattered throughout the gardens and there are plenty of places to set down a picnic.
Beautiful perfumed roses have been lovingly planted, numbering well over 200 now.
There is a Cafe Bar offering fresh roasted coffee and a selection of teas, milk shakes, ice creams and a variety of cold drinks as refreshments.

"To Quote Tracey:
We
have now had 2 weddings at the Maze both with the service held in the large
open garden room.
The guests then utilised the grounds to explore and the
outdoor games room was set up with large checker, bocce & croquet and
drinks and canapés where served.
The bride and groom then had their photos
taken throughout the gardens and the guests where well entertained after which they then moved on
to the marquee set up on the grounds to enjoy the evening together."
