Heritage walks – Goldfields

Castlemaine Town Hall

Discover the Victorian architecture for which this region is renowned on a heritage walk. See the grand buildings on Sturt and Lydiard streets in Ballarat and the impressive architecture of Pall Mall in Bendigo, as well as the splendid Victorian streetscapes of Maldon and Dunolly. The heritage trails of Bendigo and Ballarat are a great place to start but many other towns throughout the region including Castlemaine, Maldon, Dunolly and Heathcote also have self-guided trails.
