The Victorian town of Maldon is located in a historical gold mining region between the larger centres of Castlemaine and Bendigo. Maldon has been perfectly preserved since its mining days and is Australia's First Notable Town - classified by the National Trust in 1966. Its list of historic buildings is impressive and includes the railway station (built in 1884), the Grand Hotel (1888), the old post office (1870) and a number of churches. Many of the commercial buildings located along Maldon's streets have been converted into cafes, galleries and antiques shops to cater for the influx of visitors who choose to step back in time by visiting this uniquely preserved historic gold mining town with a streetscape that looks like it hasn't changed for well over a hundred years.

I like the way some old towns revitalize themselves again and make the town prosperous.

Has some appearance of a Western town in the USA, Frank.
I see that in 'Down Under' the cowboys and horses meanwhile are replaced by cars, 😁 !
A fine scene however, well captured by you!

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.

Nice catch, Frank. The people who live and work there obviously take their restoration seriously. The only things out of place are the cars.
