We acknowledge the Dja Dja Wurrung as the Traditional Owners of the land on which Maldon is located.
We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
“Experience the seasons, relax into the pace of a small country town, and nourish the soul and body.”
Mention Maldon to most people, and they’ll likely get a bit misty-eyed and nostalgic, thinking of the little town of the goldfields where time seems to have stood still. Redolent of the wild stories of the goldrush, and with intact streetscapes and historic buildings full of character, all surrounded by the landscape of the gold workings, it’s the most picturesque of towns.
Maldon today is still that charming historic town, but with an added pinch of the arts, fine accommodation and niche retail experiences to add a little sophistication to the country feel. And our region’s renewed focus on the local culture of the Dja Dja Warrung means you can also explore the time before the goldrush.

It’s easy to get out in nature, with almost endless cycling and walking trails through the surrounding 2500ha of Historic Reserve and scenic sunset spots all within easy walking distance. The seasonal birdlife and wildflowers are something special, and the close-up look at the remnants of the gold workings tells of the industry of the early town.
This is the perfect place to slow down and spend a few days. Experience the seasons, relax into the pace of a small country town, and nourish the soul and body. Light a fire in winter – or revel in the glory of a sunny autumn day, that’s really the only decision to make. And if you’re wandering through the region, stop and have a browse or lunch, and introduce yourselves! Losing yourself among the towns of the goldfields is a wonderful way to travel.
