Creswick
Admire the architecture of Creswick's broad, elegantly curved main street, studded with buildings that owe their existence to the gold rush town's heydays.
Gold rush gems
Stroll past the old Masonic Lodge, State Savings Bank, Creswick Library, Post Office or pop in to the Creswick Museum.
Stop into Cocoa Chy opposite the Post Office for a reinvigorating hot chocolate and a truffle, or load up on Goldfields Cheese at the Creswick outpost.
