Castlemaine prospered in the 1850s following the discovery of gold, the legacy of those time is still evident today, with cute miners’ cottages nestled against grand old buildings. Nowadays, this lively town is home to a flourishing arts scene, matched by a talented community of brewers, winemakers and restaurateurs.
