Castlemaine Diggings National Heritage Park is loaded with mining history and you'll truly feel like you're in the heart of it as you explore these ruins. There are more cottages and larger buildings a short distance away at Welsh Village, but it's important to watch your step as you explore the ruins as there are open mine shafts and pits dotted around the area.
