It’s time to explore our own backyard in this special travel episode to Maldon in Central Victoria.

Maldon is a historical gold mining region between the larger centres of Castlemaine and Bendigo, and just over a 90 minute drive from Melbourne.

It is a charming historic town with an added pinch of the arts, fine accommodation and niche retail experiences to add a little sophistication to the country feel. Wander past old weatherboard homes, solid stone buildings and decorative shop fronts in this lovingly preserved Australian gold mining town.

We've put together a complete guide to everything you need to know about Maldon thanks to local business owners Kate Edwards from Winter Creek Flowers and Rebecca Haack from Portia and Co.

Kate and Rebecca share with us their move from Melbourne to Maldon, the courage it took to open a business and operate through COVID, and everything you need to know about Maldon.

This episode compliments the launch of Take Me Somewhere magazine published by OAK Magazine.
