Depart Melbourne and drive to Bendigo. On arrival, Visit the Central Deborah Gold Mine and explore the city by Vintage Tram. A Vintage Talking Tram Tour is the quickest way to get your bearings, learn about Bendigo's history and see the city's key landmarks and monuments. As soon as you step aboard a Vintage Talking Tram you will see the craftsmanship that has gone into restoring each vehicle.
Suggested activity: Discover Bendigo's heritage, From 1851 a swarm of nationalities arrived on the Bendigo diggings, to take part in Australia’s largest ever gold rush. Within 20 years this cultural melting pot had turned a tent city into a grand gold town to rival any other, where a quest for grandeur gave architects free rein to flaunt their skill. Walk the streets and discover elaborately designed homes, public buildings and monuments.
For more than 100 years Victoria's towering wheat silos have defined the state's rural landscape. And when Brisbane street artist Guido van Helten created his famous 'Farmer Quartet' on the Brim silos in 2015, it captured the imagination of the town and inspired The Silo Art Trail project.
The trail brings together internationally recognised street artists – Julia Volchkova, Guido van Helten, Fintan Magee, Matt Adnate, Kaff-eine, Smug, Drapl, The Zookeeper, and Rone – and takes in eight of Victoria's smallest towns. You can find these momentous murals in Sheep Hills, Brim, Sea Lake, Patchewollock, Lascelles, Nullawil, Rosebery and Rupanyup. A unique art project that is still evolving, the Silo Art Trail has already revitalised the towns and brought thousands of new visitors to the region.
Today is at leisure for you to explore The Grampians National Park. Known for its sandstone mountains, wildflowers and wildlife including echidnas and wallabies. The Grampians is known as an outdoor lovers paradise, criss crossed with trails. Trails lead to waterfalls like towering MacKenzie Falls and lookouts such as the Balconies, with views of the Victoria Range.
Suggested activities: Head to Reeds Lookout. From the summit of Reeds Lookout you will enjoy stunning views over the entire Victoria Valley, Victoria Range, Serra Range, Lake Wartook and the Mt Difficult Range.
Depart Halls Gap for Melbourne.
Suggested Activities: Halls Gap is in the heart of the Grampians wine region, which features some of the oldest and most celebrated vineyards and wineries in Australia. Why not sample some of the local produce before heading home.
