All about Castlemaine

Little of the historic glory of this bustling town in the Goldfields region has faded with time, even as its population shrinks. Built in the heat of a gold rush in the 1850s, the boomtown grew to be a major regional center, and the broad streets lined with majestic public buildings and shops dating back more than a century still show that off today. The area’s past fuels its continuing reputation as a hub for arts of all types, as seen by the Theatre Royal, the oldest continuously operating theater on the Australian mainland. While the town’s history and beauty bring visitors to admire the local architecture and gardens, its trendy food culture and creative class keep people coming back.

What are the top things to do in Castlemaine?

Castlemaine Diggings Heritage Park

Australia’s first national heritage park invites visitors to view the town’s history through what it left behind. Among the hiking and biking paths, rare and threatened wildlife, and blooming wildflowers, visitors can check out the remains of the region’s gold mining past in the form of cemeteries, old mines and home sites, and machinery.

Castlemaine Botanical Gardens

Founded only shortly after the town was, in 1860, this garden (one of the region’s oldest) displays the wealth of the Gold Rush era with an impressive collection of trees from near and far, an artificial lake, and a stunning rotunda among the flower beds. Highlights of the garden include an English oak planted in the 1860s, a heavenly wisteria display, and a restored fountain.

The Mill

Just across from the Castlemaine Botanical Gardens, this former woollen mill also dating back to the 19th century brings in visitors with a much more modern draw — as a hub for local shops, artists, and food and drinks. In three segments — food, artisan, and vintage — plus studios and offices, the large complex gives visitors a taste of the city’s major assets.
