Just
an
hours
drive
north-west
of
Melbourne
lie
the
Goldfields.
With
a
heritage
as
rich
as
the
ground
on
which
it
stood,
this
was
once
the
home
for
tens
of
thousands
who
flocked
here
over
a
century
ago
in
search
of
instant
wealth.
And
while
the
goldrush
has
passed
quietly
into
history,
you
can
still
capture
the
spirit
of
the
pioneers
in
a
region
of
ornate
Victorian
architecture,
grand
streetscapes
and
picturesque
botanical
gardens.
