Originally formed by gold miners in the 1850's, the Goldfields Track is a point to point 210km track from Ballarat to Bendigo, that takes mountain bikers and bush walkersthrough some of central Victoria's most historic towns and beautiful forests.

The Goldfields track provides a European style travelling walking experience.

Regional cities and picturesque towns are always nearby, with accommodation, cafés, restaurants, wineries, day spa’s and galleries.

From Mt Buninyong’s panoramic views to the relaxing bushland of the Wombat State Forest, you travel over mining country, rolling pastoral country and beautiful forests before arriving at Creswick or Daylesford.

Walking from Daylesford, you take in the forests and farmland of the Central Highlands

before entering the mining country of the Castlemaine Diggings Heritage National Park.

The Goldfields Track consists of 3 tracks:

1. Wallaby Track, (Buninyong - Daylesford)
2. Dry Diggings Track (Daylesford - Castlemaine)
3. Leanganook Track (Castlemaine - Bendigo)

We will walk on sections of the Wallaby and Dry Diggings tracks of the Goldfields Track.

For much of its distance, the Wallaby Track contours through what was once a productive, working forest on the top of the Great Dividing Range. It follows for instance, the State's longest timber tramway system, and takes walkers through an impressive 1 km long railway cutting.

From Mt Buninyong you get splendid views of the surrounding countryside, around Creswick you traverse through forests over old goldfields and near Daylesford you walk beside creeks and mineral springs, the Track passes by rich red-soiled spud paddocks and through the stately towns of Ballarat, Creswick and Daylesford.

Walks available are:

a. Mt Buninyong walk,
b. Creswick Miners walk,
c. Anderson's Tramway walk, and
d. Wombat Forest walk.

Total walking distance for the day is no longer than 15 km.

The Dry Diggings Track follows old 1850's gold rush water races from the wet temperate forests on top of the Great Dividing Range at Daylesford to the dry northern plains and Forest Creek gold diggings around Castlemaine.

The Tipperary walk contours on steep slopes through pleasant bush following

watercourses on the outskirts of the twin gold rush and mineral spa towns or Daylesford and Hepburn Springs. The Mt Franklin View walk largely follows rough 4WD tracks through scrubby box forest, and the Cry Joe walk offers a fascinating insight into the gold rush era, traversing narrow high-walled gullies pockmarked with mine shafts and riddled with stone ruins.

Walks available are;

a. Tipperary walk
b. Mt Franklin View walk
c. Gold Mountain walk
d. Cry Joe walk

Total walking distance for the day is no longer than 15 km.
