At one stage in the 1850s it seemed as if the whole world was migrating to the Victorian goldfields to seek a beguiling fortune. And still people come. They come to visit captivating heritage sites, sample luscious wines, fish on a still lake, wander with their thoughts through a quiet park and dine in a range of fashionable � and fashionably diverse � restaurants. They come to create their own kind of history. A region that once gave up the Welcome Stranger � the world�s largest gold nugget � has much to reward the modern version of the 19th century digger. You might not strike gold, but you will stake a claim to a rich vein of memories.
Getting around the Goldfields is simply a matter of following the signs bearing the golden G, the symbol of the official Goldfields Tourist Route. The carefully planned itinerary of historical and scenic attractions will introduce you to countless stories of luck, loss and fascinating lives. Or you can trace the shorter Golden Way through an enchanting series of intact goldmining towns. As you drive past a pristine miners cottage or a splendidly restored country hotel, or enter an old mine where candles still burn brightly to light the way, remember to take your time.
