Rich in history and opportunity... today’s visitors come to Maryborough and the surrounding villages for many reasons. Many come to wander through the lovely box-ironbark forests with their wildflowers, birds and superb display of Wattle in the spring. Others come to research family history and discover a connection to the Victorian gold rush, or to visit nearby wineries or explore markets, galleries and museums.
Take a deep breath… and travel along the meandering roads of the Loddon Valley. They start at untouched historic villages, weave their way up to spectacular views on granite strewn hilltops, through ancient forests, and then alongside wide flowing rivers and vast wetlands.

Visit RegionCastlemaine and the surrounding towns punch well above their weight when it comes to hosting quality musicians and theatre. Many touring artists choose to perform in Castlemaine over larger regional cities as is the draw of the bohemian lifestyle being created here.
But if you just rock up to town any old weekend you’re guaranteed to see excellent live music, the latest arthouse and blockbuster films at the historic and rejuvenated Theatre Royal, and a wide variety of musicians at many other local venues. Another favourite is Phee Broadway where local and visiting theatre groups can often be found treading the boards.
The region also proudly hosts the internationally renowned Castlemaine State Festival and other events like the Maldon Folk Festival, the Castlemaine Documentary Film Festival and the Newstead Live Music Festival.
