The Goldfields of Victoria is Australia's premier gold heritage region, with grand streetscapes, historic architecture, gardens, art galleries, provincial food and wine, festivals and world-class attractions. Easily accessible from Melbourne, it is the perfect area for a weekend getaway or extended adventure.
Encompassing the towns of Ballarat, Bendigo, Castlemaine and Maldon, the Victorian Goldfields is a region bursting with beautiful sights and interesting attractions that one might not expect. Discover the Bendigo wine region, with its vineyards of acclaimed Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. Some of the vineyards date back to 1856 and offer tastings, tours and fine dining.
The towns Victorian Goldfields are also home to a number of beautiful gardens, some over 150 years old - a testament to the stately lifestyle of some of the region's earliest settlers. The Ballarat Botanic gardens are a particularly spectacular sight to see in March, when its renowned Begonias are in full bloom.
Beyond the towns are numerous state and national parks where visitors can spot a plethora of native wildlife, wander through the region's iconic ironbark and stringybark forests and fields of wildflowers, and in the winter months, experience the magnificent sight of golden wattle trees in full bloom.
The historic Goldfields Track is just one of many excellent walking trails in the region, and is part of the renowned Great Dividing Trail. A must-see for visitors, the track meanders through the local towns and villages of Bendigo, Ballarat, Castlemaine, Hepburn, Daylesford and Creswick.Photos
