There is no greater place for kids of all ages to enjoy than nature's playground, and the Central Goldfields has beauty, excitement, adventure and relaxation on offer in equal measure.

Well before European settlers arrived in the Central Goldfields during the 1840s, the area was home to the Dja Dja Wurrung clan. They refer to the region as Tuaggra and many sacred sites in the area are recognised by and for the vast Indigenous history the Central Goldfields celebrates.

The Central Goldfields has been famous for its alluvial gold for over 150 years. Of the 40 nuggets weighing over 18 kilograms recorded in Australia, 32 of them have been discovered in Central Victoria.
