Our World Tuesday - Castlemaine

I’ve wanted to post these images for a while, so here I go!
These pictures were taken at Castlemaine in Victoria. It’s a great weekend getaway if you live in Melbourne. It owes its existence to gold – and for a town of its size it has some impressive buildings – even if they are now used as bike shops.

These shots were taken late in the afternoon on an early winters day. The sun was setting and the heavens were about to open.

We spent most of the weekend looking at art – and ending up spending more money than was prudent on pictures. But every time I see the huge owl over our fire place I know it was the right thing to do.


You can find more places from around the world at Our World Tuesday.



You can find the most recent post to my other blog by clicking the Paying Ready Attention image on the RHS of the screen.

Enjoy the pictures.

    Lovely weekend getaway (we used to love those when we worked -- almosst more than full-blown vacations). And nice to have the art to remind you -- the owl sounds perfect).

    I'm ashamed to say I have only ever heard the word Castlemaine with four X's following it! I didn't know it was the name of a town. Looks like an attractive place.
