Today I'm gonna take you to Maldon, where there are a few really cool things I'd like to show you.

This town is one of the top destinations to explore within the Victorian Goldfields, with so much to discover and experience, and to this day Maldon has a gorgeous 19th century appearance, maintained since the gold rush era.

There's a huge range of things to see in Maldon, but in this video, we're gonna check out a couple of places which I find particularly interesting.

We're gonna start with one of the most impressive things in the area, the Porcupine Flat gold dredge and dragline!
