Discovery of gold in Victoria’s central region over 150 years ago has left a rich and lasting legacy of grand hotels and public buildings along the main streets of Ballarat and Bendigo, historic gardens and homesteads, and old-fashioned shop fronts and miners’ cottages in townships such as Maldon and Castlemaine. Sovereign Hill, The Eureka Centre and the Central Deborah Gold Mine all offer a fascinating insight into life above and below the ground during the 1850s and 1860s where you can learn about gold rush history at one of the region’s historic attractions.
The Goldfields is famous for its traditional pies and the region is home to renowned bakeries and pie shops. Local restaurants make the most of the fine local produce of the region. You can sample the local wines, olives, apples directly from the farm gate or cellar door. The region offers a variety of activities such as historic botanic gardens or collections of local and European painting at two of Australia’s best regional galleries – the Ballarat Fine Art Gallery and Bendigo Art Gallery.
