Creswick is a charming former gold-mining town, offering a unique blend of historical architecture, natural attractions and outdoor activities for visitors of all ages.
The town’s ‘golden’ history is evident in a number of historic buildings which line its streets.
Learn more about the history of Creswick with a Historical Town Walking Tour. Sites of interest include the post office (built in 1862), former town hall (1876), former Bank of NSW (1861) and several other public buildings and churches.
The town is surrounded by forests which means there are many different walking tracks nearby to explore, such as the John La Gerche and Calenbeen Park walking trails. The Visitor Information Centre can provide maps and information on the available trails.
