Outdoor activities – Goldfields

Cycling round Lake Weeroona

Walking or cycling is a good way to discover the Goldfields of Victoria. Follow a trail through an historic city and view the elegant architecture and parks built on the legacy of last century’s gold rush. Cycle a scenic path around the edge of one of Victoria’s best known lakes, Ballarat’s picturesque Lake Wendouree, or walk through quiet bushland to heritage towns.

The Goldfields of Victoria is home to a variety of excellent fishing spots. Cast a line for native fish in local streams or fish year-round for brown or rainbow trout in one of over a thousand private and public trout lakes in the region.

Improve your handicap on one of the region’s scenic and historic golf courses. For the more adventurous, try hot air ballooning, a helicopter flight, or even jet fighter flights.
