Lovely historic building. Worth walking through - doesn’t take long, and learning about it’s significance when built. Interesting art work for sale on display.

Castlemaine Railway Station opened in October 1862. It is built of red brick and hasn't changed much since the early Victorian era. The station is in Kennedy Street, walking distance to the centre of this small city. You can board the Victorian Gold Fields Railway to Maldon here; it's a steam train that remains well-patronised. Check for departure times.By the way, the V-Line regional train service is a convenient way to travel to Castlemaine.

The Boer War, then called the South African War, was the first war Australia fought as a nation. Many memorials were erected to the fallen, but few as handsome as this memoral in Castlemaine, which records the names of local men killed in action. The memorial was erected in 1903, when the war was fresh in the minds of the Australian people. The Boer War was not a happy one for the British Empire. The determined Boers -- Dutch for farmers -- proved to be a tough nut to crack, even for a mighty ermpire.

What a remarkable old house with a remarkable history. It was lovely to learn about the family that lived here and that all the furniture etc is legitimate. The lady that gave us the spiel on the place was very knowledgeable. Worth a visit!

If you are walking from town be prepared to finally walk up a steep hill,about 10 min walk. We drove up hill & parked.The memorial is in good condition and overlooks the town of Castlemaine with a few blooming wattle trees near by.After just travelling from North Qld this fitted the bill and made me think how lucky we can travel by car nowadays!! It was highlight of my trip to this area.
