Summary
Weather for Creswick

Surrounded by a pine plantation, Creswick's broad, elegantly curved main street is studded with buildings that give strong visual clues to their heritage. While not as elaborate as the ornate architecture of its southerly neighbour Ballarat, the town's historic dwellings, churches and fine public buildings owe their existence to the region's common benefactor - gold.

The New Australasian No 2 Mine, just north of Creswick, is the site of the country's worst goldmine disaster. In 1882, 27 men were trapped when the mine flooded. The rescue party worked frantically for three days pumping water at the rate of 227,000 litres per hour before a rescue team could enter. Only five men were saved.

Things to do - Visit the Creswick Koala Park or Creswick Historical Museum, explore the many historic buildings dotted around the town, or try your luck gold panning at Slatey Creek. Creswick Golf Course, Lawn Tennis Courts or Lawn Bowls are worth a look.
