Despite its small population of around 7,000, the town pulses with a warm, community-driven spirit. The main street is lined with heritage buildings, cosy cafes, and boutique shops selling local crafts and produce. Visitors often come to explore the nearby Dandenong Ranges, with their lush rainforest walks and towering mountain ash forests. Wine lovers flock to the Yarra Valley, just a short drive away, for world-class cellar doors and gourmet food. The town's centrepiece is the beautiful Windsor Park, perfect for picnics and Sunday markets. History buffs can visit the old railway station and the local museum, which tells stories of the area's timber and farming past. Whether you're sipping a flat white at a local roastery, cycling through country lanes, or watching a sunset over the valley, Windsor offers an authentic slice of Australian country life that feels both timeless and welcoming.",[10,13,15],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","000",{"key":14,"value":12},"Ambulance",{"key":16,"value":12},"Fire",[18,21,24,27,30,33,36,39,42,45,48,51],{"key":19,"value":20},"Do I need a visa?","All visitors to Australia require a visa, except New Zealand citizens.
