I went on a road trip around central Victoria with my mum last week, we had a great time. Our first stop was Maldon out near Castlemaine, one of the earliest Gold Mining towns, a place mum had wanted to go for ages. I flew down to Melbourne, picked up a hire car and drove to Berwick, picked up mum and headed back out past the airport to Maldon- it wasn't all that far about an hour and a half from Melbourne. We stayed in a lovely house on the edge of Maldon that had everything we needed- could have easily stayed there for a week! Maldon has beautiful old buildings which they have tried to preserve. We walked up and down the main street and later did a drive around the rest of the town to see some of the historical buildings.
There were lots of lovely verandas and wrought iron.

One of the views from Mt Tarrengower where you can see a fair bit of Central Victoria. According to the Maldon visitors center Maldon is almost the geographical center of Victoria.
