Castlemaine has historic streetscapes with beautiful old public buildings and pubs along the main Mostyn and Lyttleton Streets that allow you to imagine its rich gold mining days of old. The eastern end of Mostyn street is dominated by a towering memorial monument of Burke and Wills.
A good example of architecture formed during the gold rush period is the Market Building on Mostyn Street, completed in 1862 and used as a food market until 1967. Its prominent portico is presided over by a statue of Ceres, the Roman goddess of harvests. Further along the track, visit the Morrell glass gallery.
Castlemaine's Botanic Gardens are some of Victoria's oldest public gardens, and were laid out by Baron Von Mueller, who designed many of Victoria's other public and private gardens - including Melbourne's Botanical Gardens. Take a picnic basket full of goodies and enjoy a relaxing afternoon by the lake, only 5ha in distance.
Another attraction is the Castlemaine Diggings National Heritage Park,which covers 7,500 hectares of forest and includes trails that are dotted with relics of the gold rush mining era.Photos
