During our Victorian Era we saw various sites associated with the gold rush. We did a walk-in mine tour at Maldon (which prompted a daytrip to Quartz Moutain) and even found a geocache in an abandoned mine! Although we visited Bendigo several times, we hadn't toured the much larger Central Deborah Gold Mine at Bendigo.Nick and I arrived in Bendigo just before the afternoon mine experience tour. We spent some time on the surface looking at the buildings and then met our guide to descend 61 metres underground - deeper than we'd ever been!
There are other longer (and more expensive) tours that descend even further below the surface but we were quite happy with what we did.
