the maldon cottages website <body> agatha panthers brings you info on Maldon cottages in Victoria Australia, including You know, I really don't get it. Here I have a perfectly lovely website about Maldon Cottages. Quite stunning, actually. And yet, for the phrase Maldon Cottages, I am not on the top of the list. The site that is on top has very little content about maldon cottages. How can this be? When it comes to Maldon cottages, I am probably the main player; and yet a crummy organization with a small number of Maldon cottages, and a bad reputation, is on top. Weird! If you are looking for heritage cottages in Maldon, my suggestion is to look at <a href="http://www.maldoncottages.com.au/">Maldon Cottages</a> featuring Middlemiss Cottage, which is a unique part of Maldon cottage heritage. Pre-dating the gold rush, this stone shepherd's hut was here before the town of Maldon was established, and truly is a part of Maldon cottage heritage.

Why do so many people visit this central Victorian town, and why do so many keep coming back? There are many reasons, but we think that it has a lot to do with charm, Maldon charm! And, the fact that is conveniently located near Bendigo, Castlemaine & Dalesford. We proudly present our latest feature: our Maldon accomodation booking service, which is called: accommodation feature finder (tm). Whether you are looking for a self-contained cottage, a bed and breakfast, a motel, or visitor information in Maldon, this is the most convenient way to find it. Our feelings about Maldon are best summed up in the words of the song: "Maldon, Maldon, I love that town of Maldon. I love my dog, I love my ute, I love my girl, she's so cute, But, Maldon, Maldon, I really love that town!" We hope that you will enjoy your visit to Maldon. Maybe you will decide that Maldon is your kind of town. When I first set out to do a website about Maldon, Victoria, Australia, I noticed that most Maldon websites are about Maldon England. And a large proportion of those are about the Battle of Maldon. Who would have thought that there was so much to say about the Battle of Maldon! To find websites specific to Maldon, Victoria, Australia, you must refine your search. Try "maldon australia", or "maldon victoria", or "maldon victoria australia". You may find that they all yield different results. Of course, if it is something specific about Maldon that you require, you will find it quicker if you type "maldon victoria australia accommodation", or "maldon victoria australia events" or whatever you are after. Maldon, England is not the only town with the name "Maldon", although it is likely to have been the first. There is also a Maldon in New South Wales, Australia, a Maldon in the Netherlands, a Maldon in Canada, and, of course, the one in Victoria, Australia. There are several websites about Maldon, Victoria, Australia. There is this one, of course. I also work on several other Maldon websites: <a href="http://www.maldonstyle.com/home.htm" target="body">maldon</a> & <a href="http://gomaldon.com" target="body">gomaldon</a> <a href="http://gomaldon.com.au/" target="body"></a>. Then there is the Maldon Inc. site: maldon.org.au and there is also Graham Dodsworth's extensive site, simply titled "Maldon". Oops, I almost forgot Maldon resident Neil Bethune's excellent site "What's On In Maldon" maldon.org.au is the Official Web-site of Maldon. It is operated by Maldon Inc., which is Maldon's business & tourism association. Maldon Inc. also manage the Maldon Visitor Information Center, which is located in the heart of Maldon - in the Maldon Shire Gardens. Of course the Shire of Maldon is no more, having been swallowed-up in the amalgamation process which led to the creation of the Shire of Mt. Alexander. If you ever visit Maldon, please look me up. I am a very friendly person. I live at 87 Church St., Maldon. The 11th. of November 1875 is an important day in Maldon's history. On that day, Victorian Patent No. 2136 was granted to two Maldon inventors. They were John William Crisp, of Parker Street; and David Jones, of Reef Street. Both men were miners, but their invention was for use in agriculture and was titled: "Improvements in reaping and binding machines". The people of Maldon and surrounding districts have always been an inventive lot. At the <a href="http://maldonstyle.com/maldon_show/" target="body">Maldon & Baringhup Agricultural Society's Show</a> in October, they will have an opportunity to show off their ideas (and possibly win a prize for their efforts). Keith can be contacted on 5475 1066. He is also very keen to hear about machines that incorporate Crisp & Jones's patent. So, if you have any old agricultural equipment lying around, have a good look at it - it might be an important part of Maldon's history." There are some people in Maldon who would like to start an inventor's club. <a href="http://apcottages.com.au/invent/" target="body"> Click here to go to their web site.</a> 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 1965 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. <h4 align="center">When visiting Maldon, don't miss the Visitor Information Centre.</h4> The Visitor Information Centre (V.I.C.) is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. 7 days a week. It is staffed by friendly, knowledgeable, local Maldon volunteers. There are attractive displays, and a wide array of information is available about Maldon and surrounding districts. While at the Maldon V.I.C., make sure you see the 6 minute video about Maldon. This professionally produced video costs nothing to view, and is very informative. We think that seeing this should be one of the first things that you do in Maldon. The Maldon V.I.C. is run by Maldon Inc., the local business association, who also have a very informative Maldon web site. <h4 align="center">An <a name="song">Anthem</a> For</h4> <h2 align="center">MALDON</h2> <h4 align="center">by Keith Harper © 1999.</h4> If you love Maldon as I do, then you'll know why I sing. I sing out loud because I'm proud. Let hills and gullies ring! Chorus: Maldon, beautiful Maldon, this is the town that we love. Maldon, beautiful Maldon, built with help from above! In eighteen fifty-three, when gold was found here on the ground: who then could know the seeds they'd sow would be a town renowned? When Easter-time comes 'round again and I am trav'ling back, the shining tower on Tarrangower will guide me on my track. Oh, Maldon is a lovely town, it's steeped in history. It's rich today in a dif'rent way to how it used to be. I love this country; Australia, and I love Maldon too. Until I die I pledge that I will always be true blue.
