Things To Do In Maldon

Maldon has got a few galleries, shops selling handcrafts and old 19th-century pubs to keep you occupied. Maldon is situated about 140km north-west of Melbourne. This fascinating small town is a fascinating mixture of traditional, cultural and historical and you are going to be quite attracted to all its different aspects like 19th century cottages, shop fronts with old fashion designs, European architecture with wide verandas and flagstone pavements.

The mines closed in 1926 after a gold rush lasting more than 70 years, but you can still appreciate the feel of a 19th century Victorian mining town. Do remember to be here in October, April, July, and November when fairs and folk festivals are held. Maldon offers some great accommodation. Let’s have a look at some of those facilities.
