When the last great gold mine, Oswald's North British, closed in 1926, development in Maldon almost came to a standstill. This has left us with a streetscape in Main Street that is not much different to how it looked 100 years ago. Other lovely old buildings abound, including schools, churches, grand houses, and quaint cottages.

In 1966 the National Trust classified Maldon as a "Notable Town". In fact, Maldon was the first Australian town to receive such a classification.

Maldon is located in central Victoria. Less than 2 hours by car from Melbourne, Maldon is a suitable destination for a day trip. However, to get the most out of what Maldon has to offer, we recommend that you plan to stay at least one night.
