The Castlemaine heritage diggings area is a fairly unknown part of Australias gold history but is as important as Bendigo or Ballarat. A visit to this area and its wonderful drives and walks is a good reason to head to Castlemaine for a few days.Pick up a brochure from the visitors centre and head to Chewton,just out of Castlemaine to take in this area which is part of parks vic, and a lot of info van be gained from their website
