Summer in Castlemaine and Central Victoria has a magic all its own: bush landscapes with their shades of grown and green and gold, colourful roses in the town’s gardens and the summer abundance at the farmers’ markets.
It’s a time for slow mornings, long afternoons and laid-back evenings. Enjoy picnics under shady trees, cool off with a swim, head out for a bushwalk or bike ride before the day warms up, indulge in locally made gourmet ice cream after a lazy game of backyard cricket, listen to live music in a beer garden on a balmy night – it all adds up to summer holiday magic.
Here are just a few of our favourite summer things to do, to help you make the most of your time with us.
