AGATHA PANTHERS COTTAGES - Historic Maldon in Victoria, Australia
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. More information can be had on the popular maldon.ws website.
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.
More information on Maldon can be obtained on the gomaldon and maldonstyle web sites.
Some more recent websites that provide information about Maldon, www.maldonvictoria.com and www.maldoninformation.com, may also be worth a look.
An Anthem For
MALDON
by Keith Harper © 1999.
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.
When the Donners run on out
upon the sporting field;
they do their best
to beat the rest,
and they will never yield!
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.
