Highlights

 

Victorian Goldfields Railway

Step back in time with a scenic journey aboard the Victorian Goldfields Railway, travelling from Castlemaine to the historic town of Maldon. Enjoy the charm of a traditional steam train as you take in the beautiful countryside, followed by a visit to Australia’s oldest continuously operating bakery, where you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch in a truly unique setting.

Sovereign Hill

Step back into the 1850s at Sovereign Hill, a living gold rush town where history comes alive on every street. Wander through the recreated township, watch traditional trades in action, and hear the sound of horse-drawn carriages on dusty roads as you explore life during Victoria’s gold rush era.

Don’t miss the chance to try your luck panning for real gold in the creek — you might just strike it rich, or at least walk away with a few shiny flakes and a great story to tell.

Ballarat Botanical Gardens

Enjoy a relaxed afternoon break with a shared platter of local cheeses, dips, fresh breads, and seasonal accompaniments. It’s a simple but generous spread designed for grazing, perfect for settling in, chatting with fellow travellers, and taking a breather from the day’s activities.

With a mix of savoury flavours and fresh produce, it’s less formal than traditional afternoon tea and more about easy, social dining.
