Pay it Forward in Castlemaine
It’s easy to spend a day or two uncovering Castlemaine’s many treasures. Located on the traditional lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung people, Castlemaine prospered in the 1850s following the discovery of gold.

Nowadays, this lively town is home to a flourishing arts scene, matched by a talented community of brewers, winemakers and restaurateurs.
Where to Spot and Buy Autumn Colour
Autumn is one of the most popular times to visit the high hills of our region, as the deciduous plants all put on their striking annual display of colour.
