Such sudden ghastliness as the crash that claimed five lives is not supposed to happen in full view of tourists and contented townsfolk in such a lovely little town.
Daylesford hasn’t been so torn by tragedy since 1867, when three boys aged seven, five and four went walking in the Wombat Forest in the middle of winter and perished from cold.
It will be a long time before the memory of what happened 156 years later, on the sunny Sunday afternoon of November 5, 2023, begins to fade in Daylesford. The lawn, beneath the deep green foliage of big old elms, is a fine spot for an alfresco pub meal or a beer, children rolling about on the grass, if you ignore the nearby traffic heading through on the Midland Highway or turning up the main street or heading north to Hepburn Springs.
We need only know what was said by Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police Shane Patton, that the scene was so confronting some of the professionals who responded would be haunted by it. These are people hardened to horror.
