The Victorian Goldfields are the legacy from the discovery of gold in Victoria's central region in the 1800s. The townships include Avoca, Ballarat, Bendigo, Castlemaine, Clunes, Creswick, Dunolly, Maldon, Maryborough and Heathcote. It is an area rich in history with much of the past wealth on display especially in the Victorian streetscapes of Bendigo and Ballarat. The great hotels and public buildings show off the past wealth of these rural cities. There are still many original shopfronts and miners' cottages in townships such as Maldon, Castlemaine and Dunolly.
The Victorian Goldfields are a great way to explore our gold rush history. There are still several mines to explore including Sovereign Hill and the Central Deborah Gold Mine, as well as learning from the Eureka Centre and the Ballarat Gold Museum.
Although Ballarat and Bendigo are the largest regions the smaller townships have plenty to offer including beautiful streetscapes, heritage architecture and wonderful attractions. Why not fit more than one town on your day out or stay in several over a week.
