Trentham is one of the hidden secrets of Victoria. It is a quiet, picturesque country town nestled amongst the tall timbers of the Wombat forest. It has more recently developed a range of accommodation and romantic dining to compliment the outdoor forest-experience based tourism that is fast developing, this and several recent subdivision developments ensure that it's population is increasing.

Trentham Falls is the largest single drop waterfall in Victoria and is a favourite hiking and picnic spot.

Trentham is famous for it's potato farming and timber industry. Handcraft and "collectibles" stores have become established and there are a number of meal and accommodation providers. The district has several quality Bed & Breakfast operators.

There are a number of walks in and around Trentham, and details of these are available from the Trentham Visitors Information Centre, recently established in the old (1880) railway station, worth a visit just to see it. The Trentham Historical Society has published an interesting guide to a walk around Trentham, and it is also available from the Visitor Information Centre.

Recently the new Domino walking trail was established by the community group Actively Conserving Trentham, and it has proven very popular with walkers and bird watchers. It is a gentle 10km (3 hour) walk, although it can easily be made shorter if required. It passes through the habitat of the endangered Powerful Owl, and follows the route of the old Trentham Railway, part of the original line that once linked Daylesford and Carlesruhe, and then to Melbourne. Interpretive signs are placed along the walk, and a Domino Trail guide is also available from the Visitor Information Centre.

Trentham has an excellent all weather 18 hole golf course, a link to their website is included here.
