1. Victorian Goldfields Railway
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 199 reviews
Authentic Steam Railway linking historic Castlemaine and Maldon. The must do activity for all visitors to central Victoria. You can catch the train for a return trip from either Castlemaine or Maldon stations. Fun for the whole family as you get up close to a real steam train. For a touch of class step back in time to the Golden Age of rail travel when the journey was as important as the destination. Travel in luxury parlour cars complete with full bar service. Enjoy the view from the end observation balcony. Travel with driver for a small extra fare. You can even drive your own special steam train.

The gardens are right next to the caravan park and a beautiful spot for a morning walk. It's interesting to read all the plaques explaining about the history of the gardens.

It's always good to speak with a local and get the inside knowledge! The Castlemaine Visitor Information Centre can assist with brochures, accommodation booking and travel advice. Located in our magnificent Market Building, we offer a great range of locally made products, regular art exhibitions and you can hire bikes or ipod tours to add to your visit.

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.

The Castlemaine Visitor Centre is in the historic Market Building. They can tell you all you need to know about Castlemaine, an historic gold town. By the way, check with them before you go somewhere, as the attraction may be temporarily closed, especially in wwinter.
5. Castlemaine Farmers' Market

The idea of a Farmers' Market is that farmers sell their produce directly to their consumers, with no middle man. This means that the produce is fresh, out of the fields, and also customers know that the money they pay goes directly to the farmer. Castlemaine is a thriving regional city, easily accessible by car or train, about an hour's travel from Melbourne. The market sells local produce such as meat, fruit vegetables and other products from local and regional sources. The Castlemaine Farmers' Market is held regularly, depending on the circumstances.
