Mount Alexander Region
Gold‑rush era towns and a flourishing arts scene define Mount Alexander Shire, home to Castlemaine, Maldon and a patchwork of villages. The area’s history is preserved in bluestone buildings and steam trains, while markets and festivals celebrate contemporary creativity; insiders hike through Kalimna Park’s box‑ironbark forest to secret lookouts and line up for wood‑fired sourdough at a hidden bakery that sells out each morning.
Council has an approximate area of 1,500 km².
