Maldon

Designated Australia's first notable town, Maldon is a small Victorian goldfields settlement whose 19th-century streetscape has been preserved largely intact since the gold-rush era. Set in mountain terrain with vineyards nearby and several historic churches for a village its size, it draws independent travellers looking for a well-preserved slice of colonial Australia.
