Getting to Limmud Fest @ Rutherford Park
It's pretty simple.
Get on Kings Way, then the M1 & Westgate Fwy and then take the M80 Western Ring Road onto the Western Fwy M8. Follow that all the way till the C141 Ballan exit.
Take the C141 to Daylesford then turn left at the roundabout taking the A300 Midland Hwy to Blampied.
At Blampied-Kooroochean Road turn right and then left into Kangaroo Hills Road where you will see the Rutherford Park Country Retreat.

Of course if you are starting off early and would prefer the more scenic route (it's only 10 minutes longer!) you can take the Calder Fwy M79 through to Woodend and then follow the C317 to Daylesford via Trentham, Lyonville and Musk.
