We’re Off To Explore The Victorian Goldfields

In July this year we are off to explore the Victorian Goldfields region associated with the 1850’s Victorian gold rush.

Many towns were established during the gold rush and extensive remnants of the rush remain throughout the area today. The Victorian Goldfields lie roughly between Ballarat, Rushworth, Wedderburn and Stawell.

We will visit many iconic locations on this epic 2 week road trip. Towns we will visit include Ballarat, Bendigo, Rushworth, Whroo, Maryborough, Maldon, Castlemaine, Moliagul, Dunolly, Daylesford, Avoca, Ararat, Steiglitz, Blackwood, El Dorado, Wangaratta and many more. It’s going to be an awesome trip.

We plan on exploring many historic mines throughout the Victorian Goldfields, including North British Mine and Quartz Kilns, Maldon – Red, White and Blue Mine, Muckleford – Battery Dam, Daisy Hill – Grand Duke Mine, Timor – Tunnel Hill, Talbot – Beehive Mine, Maldon – Forest Creek Historic Gold Diggings, Castlemaine – Union Jack Mine, Percydale and the Duke of Cornwall Engine House, Fryerstown.
