Creswick
Take a town walking tour of Creswick,
18 kilometres north of Ballarat, and discover gold all over again
in the form of its historic buildings and old
goldmining sites. Established in 1851, Creswick was bursting
at the seams by 1854 when 25,000 prospectors had flocked
there. Today 3000 people call Creswick home.
Some of the amazing accommodation
available in Creswick include the award winning Novotel Forest Resort which has a
championshop golf course and
also the Crewsick Calembeen
Lake Caravan Park.
Take the Creswick Miners' Walk, visit
Creswick Regional Park and the Creswick
Woollen Mills, lose yourself at The Tangled
Maze, and don't miss St George's Lake, originally created to
provide water for gold sluicing and now a tree-fringed oasis for
swimming and fishing.
If you want to travel a little further
you can enjoy a majestic ride on the Daylesford Spa Country
Railway.
